White Elephant Antiques Gallery, Alabama, United States
4.0 (5 reviews) Spent Ranking #12 in Mentone Antique Shops
It's back--reopened in a location behind the old restaurant!
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!

Antique Holy Grail!! Where to look 1st!!!
The White Elephant is my type of Retail Therapy!! There are rooms & rooms & more rooms LOADED with Antiquities of every sort. & a Second floor with more of the same, & even a Bargain Room ;0) I could & Have, spent many hours browsing & feasting my eyes on lovely objects from days gone by. What a splendid History Lesson, indeed! You must go & experience this gem yourself as we do every time we go to Mentone. The prices are mostly very fair. Staff knowledgeable. Next door to the Mentone Springs Hotel, which is another Must See!!

Lots of variety! Great use of an Historic Building
They had great antiques and a variety of items. I love the fact that they used an old Historic Building. The Mentone Springs Hotel and the Mentone Inn, both beautiful Historic Buildings are right next door to the White Elephant. They have a large selection of antique glass items, and they have a 50% off room upstairs!! The staff are very frienldy and my husband and I enjoy shopping there everytime we are in Mentone, AL.
