The design cleverly features two shops in one: the stately, two-story brick "Mainstreet Gift Shop" and the cozy, attached "Deck the Halls" Christmas Shop.

This hand-painted ceramic building is packed with wonderful details, from the festive red and white striped awning to the large, lit display window showcasing a miniature village scene. In the upper windows, four holiday wreaths are arranged to spell out "N-O-E-L." This piece includes the small, removable brass-colored "56" sign that hangs by the door, and a spare sign is also included. Measuring approximately 7 inches in height by 7.25 inches wide, this building is in excellent condition and comes complete with its light cord and original box.

This is a perfect gift for any Dept 56 collector or someone who cherishes the nostalgic feeling of a decorated downtown during the holidays. The Mainstreet Gift Shop is a quintessential piece for any village's town square, adding layers of interest and festive spirit.

This item is vintage, over 25 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
