Built in 1894, this building was originally known as the Fillmore Building. It is located about a block from the Dows Welcome Center. In 1987 it was purchased by the Dows Historical Society, and with the help of many volunteers the store was opened in 1989. It has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The store contains an Antique Mall with three floors of antiques from various dealers.  Iowa-made products, featuring Iowa wines and Iowa souvenirs are available, and the Creme de la Creme lunch area is a great place for soups, sandwiches, and ice cream.
Hours are 9-4:30 Mon-Sat, 1:00-4:30 Sun.  Closed Christmas and New Years.
