Historic Ellicott City

Main Street Oriental Rugs is located in Historic Ellicott City.  Historic Ellicott City came to being before the American Revolution.  It started out as a small town, but then slowly grew.  Originally called Ellicott Mills, after the Ellicott Brother's flour mill, Ellicott City officially received its name in 1867.  Ellicott City has strived to preserve its "look" for over 100 years.  Even Main Street Oriental Rugs' building looks very similar to what it looked like in 1923.
1923:                                                                      Today:

Today, most of the stores in Historic Ellicott City are small businesses.  This gives the area a more personal environment, as customers can get to know the owners of the stores; they receive individual attention.  And unlike large retail stores, employees are more likely to have a thorough depth of knowledge about the merchandise that is being sold.  Shopping at Main Street Oriental Rugs in Historic Ellicott City is definitely a treat for you and your family.
