K A Ammar and his wife Mary Jane lived, worked and raised a family in Bluefield West Virginia and were the epitome of 1950s elegance.
Although formal and old fashioned, KA Ammar was a brilliant, forward thinking purveyor of change.  Shortly after college, he convinced the WV legislature to change the status of his Alma Mater - Marshall  - from a college to a University.
This was just the beginning.
After the army he assumed the role as head of the family business. His leadership would result in the evolution of the Ammar Family’s  local department stores to what became a successful large retail chain known as Magic Mart.
Ammar served on many community boards and ultimately became the President of the Bluefield Chamber of Commerce.
Most notably, he  spearheaded the Congressional approval of the I-73/74 route as Founder and President of the I-73/74 Corridor Association. His contributions are memorialized as his name permanently appears on  the WVDOT signage.

His beloved wife Mary Jane had impeccable style as seen in this offering of a portion of their personal estate.

One will find exquisite Mid Century Modern Drexel and Henry Link furniture as well as several Louis XV and French Provincial antiques and home decor.
