The building at 25 Lyme Street in Old Lyme was built in 1867 as the J. A. Rowland Hardware Store, which occupied it until 1948, when it was sold to Smith’s Hardware. In 1975, antiques dealer Richard T. French bought the building, which soon became the Country Duffer clothing store. The building has been home to The Cooley Gallery since 1988.
