EASTON, Pa. — The Easton Main Street Initiative has unveiled its limited-edition ornament for the 2023 holiday season, but you better act fast. Only 750 are available for sale.
The ornament, which features the Quadrant Book Mart & Coffee House, marks the 10th year of honoring city landmarks with a holiday collectible.
The Quadrant, at 20 N. 3rd St., is known for serving the arts, cultural and culinary communities. Its books span a broad range of reader interests, while the coffee house menu offers breakfast platters, salads, sandwiches and a variety of hot and cold beverages.
“As caretakers of this old building, with its deep history in the community, we could not be more pleased to be renowned with this beautiful ornament. We love knowing that this will serve as a remembrance for so many others, who also love the history and beautiful architecture of Easton.”Quadrant Book Mart & Coffee House owner Jo Moranville
The ornament depicts the exterior of the brick building preserved at Church and North Third streets by husband-and-wife duo Andy Danielson and Jo Moranville.
