The building housing the business was originally constructed in the 1950s as a Newberry's Department Store, and the wide aisles and period interior give the space the feel of stepping back in time. Beyond the main antique offerings, the inventory includes bookcases stocked with vintage books in a dedicated reading area, as well as lamps, maps, prints, dishware, china, depression glass, stoneware, copper, primitives, estate jewelry, currency, radios, lanterns, bottles, movie posters, advertising, World War II memorabilia, nautical items, and a Victorian-era embalming table. Inside the store, Connie's Counter serves as a 1950s-style lunch counter offering sandwiches, grilled cheese, hot dogs, frappes, root beer floats, ice cream, banana splits, homemade pie, and other light fare on weekdays from 11:30 to 1:30 and on weekends from 11:00 to 4:00.

Laconia Antique Center sits at 601 Main Street, which is also State Route 106. The Colonial Theater is just across the street, Laconia City Hall is about a tenth of a mile away, and Perley Canal lies within a tenth of a mile to the south.
