The name of this huge antique mall is derived from its history. Edmund and Kate Raftery, the owners of this beautiful Italianate Victorian residence, had friends who moved to China and then sent back all sorts of interesting goods that many were intrigued by. As word got out, more friends started sending them items from around the world.

The Atrium Cafe is part of the tradition. Many who traveled to the antique mall came from far away, so lunch was prepared for the shoppers by Mrs. Raftery. Today, guests can enjoy lunch items like sandwiches, salads, frittatas, and wraps, as well as a slew of different pies.
