Welcome to Holyokebiz!

My name is Michael M Powell and I am the principle owner of Holyokebiz Vintage Merchandise.

My home is the historic and once booming center of commerce and industry, Holyoke, MA.

As a general contractor, I have restored many magnificent examples of late 19th and early 20th century architecture here in Holyoke.  In the process, I find interesting vintage items.  Holyoke once rivaled Boston, Ma, for wealth and prestige.  Today the remnants of those rich "Paper City" barons--as Holyoke was known for its huge output of paper products--are found in old factories, Victorian attics, and post and beam basements. 

I find many extraordinary examples of hand crafted furniture, jewelry and home ware, vintage pedestal sinks and cast-iron claw foot tubs, magnificent fireplace inserts, and many other unique vintage pieces that resonate as one-of-a kind. 

Holyokebiz Vintage Merchandise offers only those Items possessing the most enduring appeal.

The merchandise are lasting creations from a time and place of American expansion and grandeur.
