Although this building bears the date \u201c1897\u201d on its front, Eckert dates it to 1899-1900 and credits it to Charlton, Gilbert & Demar.1<\/sup>\u00a0The two-story building has had its cornice removed and its first floor altered, but the second floor exhibits three graceful round-arched windows separated by engaged fluted columns. The wall is a smooth-faced Jacobsville sandstone. The building housed druggists from 1897 until 2000.2<\/sup><\/p>\n
