Ahab Bowen
2614 Boll Street

Ahab Bowen isn't your average vintage store. The store is very organized with clothes grouped by color and with a label that marks the genre. There's also a great menswear selection. Just a bit of history - Ahab Bowen is named after a farmer who moved to Dallas from Tennessee in 1861. The now store was then his home and is now one of the last examples of a 19th century simple, wood frame, farmhouse.
