There's a shop tucked away near the square in downtown San Marcos that is home to more than a thousand different light fixtures from around the world. In this Bobcat Update, Amanda Pena tells us about a unique shop.

(Pena…8 sec…the others)
From floor lamps to chandeliers, Stewart X Douglas has any and every kind of light fixture you could ever imagine, some dating back to the 1800's. Owner Kyle Reese began collecting the fixtures on his travels around the world over 19 years ago. When Reese is away, employee Paul Chrissey tends the store.
(Chrissey…sec… selling it.)
From collecting the lighting to restoring it, Stewart X Douglas does it all. What originally began as a hobby for Reese and Chrissey turned into a new job that they never want to lose.
(Chrissey…sec…still am!)
Ranging in price from 100 dollars to 10-thousand dollars, historical treasures of all kinds can be found at the store. And then there are the thousands of light fixtures!
