Wakefield-Scearce Gallery

"Being at the gallery at Christmas time is a special treat. It's beautiful."

"Visiting the Gallery today as my wife and I have for several years now during the holiday season I was enjoying all the decorations and trying to decide on something to purchase as we have for years now I went to an upper floor not noticing the signs to go another direction I was approached by woman that told me I was going the wrong way. I told her I was observing the decorations and did not notice the sign. There were no other people around, so I wondered why my going an opposite way was making such a difference. She continued to follow us as if we were going to steal something, making snide remarks along the way. Needless to say my wife and I did not purchase anything and will not go back to this establishment. This one incident will stay with me forever, will be loved visiting this place this one bad experience with kept us from ever going there again. Dr. D. Owens"

"I have been visiting here since I was a kid. It is a must see location, full of history. With it decorated for Christmas currently, it is beautiful. Each room has something special too see. The restaurant is an added bonus."

"The Science Hill Auctions belong to the Wakefield-Scearce Gallery. --- I received the painting quite smoothly (overseas shipment), however the painting was damaged. The auctioneer described the painting in "fair condition", actually, the painting is ready for the reastauration! I contacted the auction house and first they tried to blame the UPS store for damages. After I told them that the damages can be seen on their original photos, they asked me: "Did you not look at the first image before you bid?" I replied: "My obligation is to take a deep look regarding the auction. Your obligation is to be descriptive as much as possible. " After I asked one more time: "WHY DIDN'T YOU DESCRIBE THE DAMAGE?", they did not reply any more:-(I will never auction such a sum when I knew the painting is damaged!"

"Stopped by Wakefield-Scearce Gallery in Shelbyville today. It brought back old memories of many trips made to visit this lovely gallery filled with beautiful antiques of all types. I intended to have lunch at Science Hill but they were closed today - Tuesday. It was still enjoyable walking around the building and some of the shops were open."
