elegant and timeless architectural features , such as serpentine stone sitting walls and vaulted ceilings . Its design also incorporates elements of environmentally-sustainable “ Green Development .” Vibrant outdoor gardens add to the scenic ambience , and the Marble Mill is located directly adjacent to a river that runs through the center of town . Several popular outlet stores stand on its grounds , including Eddie Bauer , Le Creuset , and Giorgio Armani . Lana Hauben says that after the Marble Mill was constructed , a longstanding local resident recognized their efforts with a friendly gesture of heartfelt validation . “ We wanted the community to enjoy what we were creating – and in truth , we wanted their approval ,” says Hauben . “ It came at a high cost , but when we opened the Marble Mill 30 years after we opened Polo / Ralph Lauren , a prominent gentleman from nearby Dorset came over to Ben , shook his hand , and said , ‘ Good job , Ben .’ I don ’ t think he truly realized how much that meant to us .”

As MDO moves forward into the future , Lana Hauben is also grateful to be able to work with her family members to continue the successful trajectory of their generational business . “ My beautiful daughter , Alissa , grew up watching her creative father ’ s dreams and successes come to fruition and ‘ inherited ’ his hard-work ethic .” Hauben adds : “ We are currently riding the wave of the ever-changing business landscape in our community and around the world . Unimaginable challenges have been presented recently on a global scale , but those challenges have not stopped us from working hard to provide visitors and locals with a world-class shopping experience that interweaves local , independent stores with world-renowned brands .”
