"The
Newberry Auction House" Deep in the heart of South Carolina, an old wooden barn stands off the side of a dirt road. The 100-year-old-barn, known as The Newberry Auction House, is full of character and characters. It draws a standing-room only crowd, often reflected in antique mirrors, every Saturday night. "I'm not sure what brings people out of the woodwork to come here, but I'm not arguing," comments one of the owners. "Maybe they keep coming because this is one of the only pieces of small-town America left around here." |
