Avon, Ohio

The last remaining antique store in Avon’s historic French Creek District will close at the end of the year.

Mary Ann Brown opened Jameson Homestead Antiques, 36675 Detroit Road, in 1979.

The City of Avon bought the Jameson property in 2018. Mayor Bryan Jensen and Brown came to an agreement that as long as she wanted to run her antique business there, she could. Sadly, Brown passed away last month.

When the City purchased the property, the original intention was to make it a Visitor’s Bureau office. City officials have now decided to relocate the Parks and Recreation Department to the house building. The department is currently located at 35001 Schwartz Road.

Plans are also in the works to restore and utilize the barn adjacent to the main building for educational programmin
