Historic homeowners have been going it alone for too long.
Those days are over.‍ ‍

The Antiquarian Club at littlewow studios is a members-only creative co-op built as an antidote to the digital isolation that has made it so hard to find these people. A place for artisans, designers, restoration experts, and the homeowners who need them — gathered around the shared conviction that the craft memory of these 100s-year-old trades is worth keeping alive.

The inherited knowledge exists — in the hands of aging plasterers, in the files of preservationists, in the heads of the craftspeople who still work the old trades. It’s just not easy to find. And it’s disappearing one retirement at a time.

This club is part resource library, part matchmaking between historic homeowners and craftspeople who actually specialize in these trades, part living material archive you can put your hands on.

Workshops, mixers, and the kind of ongoing conversation about best practices that most people never get access to. And at the center of it: a real physical home in Los Angeles — a clubhouse, a library, a workshop. A beautiful commercially zones historic craftsman full of its original features, on a centrally located, culturally vibrant block.

“I see this as the antidote to the digital isolation of the last few years. A place for people who still want to work with their hands — so the inherited knowledge of these 100-year-old trades doesn’t die out.”

Too many old houses fall into the wrong hands. That’s the whole problem — and the whole reason this exists. This is where the right hands find each other, put down their phones, shake hands, and learn the skills it takes to hold onto those houses for another century.

This 'right hand' is raised!
