The property here on Highway 64 in Lexington has a rich history of turning houses into homes, all beginning in the mid-1950s when Mr. Frank Shoaf built the original building and created Shoaf Wayside Furniture. Shortly after in the mid-1970s, a second building was constructed on property to house J&J Carpet. After many years of operation, the McCullough family acquired the property in 2001 where Brad operated a traditional retail furniture store for over a decade, consistently working alongside his father, Jerry, extended family, his wife, Dawn, and eventually two daughters, Anna and Amber. As the years went on, Dawn specifically began to show an increasing interest in antique and vendor markets. Brad, Dawn, Anna, and Amber found themselves in the years leading up to 2019 exploring many of them in surrounding areas spending days at them shopping and experiencing everything they had to offer. They became a regular hobby for Dawn especially, who started to fall in love with the immersive nature of these environments as well as with the look and feel of antique home decor. Her interest trickled over to Brad, who started repurposing furniture and playing around with painting and distressing it in different ways, and ultimately this joint interest led them to begin discussing perhaps starting an antique vendor marketplace of their own. Finally, in 2019, Evenbrooke Marketplace was born, and the rest is history.
