A LeClaire favorite, Dwellings, owned by Michael Hall has been in business for 10 years and has relocated to a much larger location at 414 N. Cody Road. Dwellings is in a house that most recently was home to Garden of Uden. Michael opened his new store on March 6th of shoppers browsing his expanded inventory which now includes chairs and occasional tables. In response to whether he thought this was a good move or not, Michael answered, "Yes! The response from current customers has been great! I think people will discover our new location and enjoy having the expanded inventory to choose from." He has found that having a home décor and furnishings business in a house helps people envision the items in their home.
LeClaire has welcomed Urban Classic Home to downtown at the corner of Cody Road and Jones Street (124 N. Cody Road). It is occupying a building that also houses GraniteXact and the LeClaire Information Center. The owner of Urban Classic Home, Becky Curtis, moved her business to LeClaire from DeWitt, Iowa. The LeClaire Chamber of Commerce celebrated with a ribbon cutting on March 7th. She has already found the traffic in downtown LeClaire to be much busier than at her previous location. When asked if this was a good move for her business, Becky said, "Absolutely; many of my customers are here". She said that her expectations have more than been met. She also mentioned that she has 30 years of interior design experience from when she lived in Naples, Florida. She offers design, unique and custom pieces, and will visit homes for consultations.
LeClaire has enjoyed many new additions and changes over the past year. They include Aunt Hattie's Fanciful Emporium moving to a larger space and Vignette's moving to a larger space and opening The Fig Tree. New businesses include Cedar Closet and The Shameless Chocoholic. Antique Archaeology (home of the American Pickers) has added a building, Expressions in Threads is in the process of expanding, and Grasshoppers is renovating a home to be used as a guest house.
LeClaire, Iowa is located at a point where the Mississippi River makes a sharp bend to the southwest. LeClaire's historic bond with the river and the bold men who tamed the Upper Rapids is still visible in the homes and buildings they left behind. On May 7, 1979, their homes were recognized as part of the nine-block Cody Road Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. LeClaire's other attractions include the Buffalo Bill Museum/Lone Star Stern Wheeler, Mississippi River Distilling Co., and Antique Archaeology, home of the American Pickers.
