This brilliant antique store is unfortunately no more. They decided to close it about a year ago, and in its place came the Winterwood Gift Shop, selling Christmas gifts year round. Not to demean the newcomer, but I really miss having McDowell’s. It was truly a special experience to walk into the church-like building on the corner of Washington Street, and enter the store. There was always a unique, homey smell about it. Everything was well set-up, and the owners were warm and friendly. We always found something perfect here. The second floor was home to many paintings — usually the highlight of our visit. So I offer this review as a tribute to the once-wonderful McDowell’s.
