MCCOY GOLDSMITH SHOP. While a pre-med student at LORAS COLLEGE, Rob McCoy worked part-time at NEWTON JEWELRY COMPANY and found he liked the business. In 1973 he opened his own jewelry business at 261 Main. The facade of the building was restored between 1982-1983, and he lived above the store. Rob McCoy announced his retirement in February 1997.
