Story

A History of the White Pillars and Vaults

The cozy building we now call home to Book Vault has witnessed Oskaloosa, IA since 1892. It humbly began as a bank, and would be called home for three other banks until 1962. For the next 30 years it would house Oskaloosa’s Abstract legal documents while quietly watching history unfold on the Square. In 1997, history called the White Pillars home as antiques filled the marble lined walls and vaults. The history lives on inside as we now call the White Pillars building the Book Vault. The historic charm of the marble walls, vaults, and stained glass ceiling house so much more than books and other unique items. The White Pillars have stood tall against the test of time. Drop by, experience our history with us, and pick up a few good books or another unique item for the journey home.

Just a nice store. Good selection of books, clean environment and it's in an old bank building. Really cool! They offer book club, author signing events and much more. It is so worth a visit when you are looking for a special book gift or kitchen gadgets, jewelry, etc. Fun place!

I've visited here a couple of times in the past, and every time I went was fantastic. The staff is very helpful. Even if the store doesn't have a book available on their shelves, they are willing and able to order the book that you want.
