Zac's Attic is the last standing antique shop on Adams Avenue's historic Antique Row in Normal Heights, San Diego, operating from a Craftsman-style building at 2922 Adams Avenue since 1999 — the sole survivor of a stretch that once held two dozen antique and vintage dealers. Owner Dave McPheeters runs estate appraisals, estate sales, and in-shop retail without a website or social media presence, conducting all sourcing and sales through phone, walk-in traffic, and word-of-mouth referrals in the 92116 ZIP code. The floor carries a rotating stock of glassware, vintage Hawaiian shirts, jewelry, furniture, and collectibles, with a specialty collection of uranium and vaseline glass that McPheeters tests in-store using a dedicated blacklight station — a draw for Depression-era glass collectors who track specific manufacturers and patterns. Antique timepieces and estate watches that surface in the shop's inventory often need movement servicing, crystal replacement, or band work — repair handled by T & T Time Services, a watch and clock specialist further east on the Adams Avenue corridor. McPheeters supplements the storefront with off-site estate liquidation sales across San Diego County, handling full-house cleanouts that feed both his retail floor and auction channels. Adams Avenue's Antique Row identity shaped the corridor's character through the 1990s and early 2000s, and the concentration of vintage shops drew the earliest foot traffic to what became the annual Adams Avenue Street Fair — a tradition that continues each fall even as the retail mix has shifted toward dining, craft beer, and coffee in the surrounding Normal Heights and Kensington corridor. Furniture and large-format antiques that need structural restoration, refinishing, or veneer repair move to Antique Refinishers, Inc. in North Park, where woodworking specialists handle period-correct restoration that preserves original value for resale and insurance purposes. The Craftsman building's original millwork, built-in shelving, and compact rooms create a layered browsing floor where new estate lots rotate in weekly alongside long-held pieces that McPheeters has sourced across more than 25 years in the San Diego antiques trade.
