4.0White Elephant Antiques Gallery(5 reviews) - It's back--reopened in a location behind the old restaurant! Antique Shops I was heartbroken to hear about the fire that destroyed the White Elephant and the Mentone Springs Hotel. I have memories going back at least 35 years of visiting that wonderful antiques store, so when we went back to Mentone this year, I wasn't expecting much from the new location. First of all, it's so much smaller, but that's the only "negative" thing that I can say. They are located on the road behind the Mentone Springs Hotel. The day that we were there the previous manager of the hotel was there, and we had a great talk. I loved shopping there, and the prices and selection were really great. Once again I made a connection in Mentone and have beautiful pieces with memories attached!See more..
