Audio Description

Behind the brick facade stands the wood frame building of Edwin Grinnell's drug store and H.T. Hollingsworth's watch repair. This building, the oldest surviving store, may date back to 1869. A series of jewelers and druggists occupied the building until 1924 when Fred Albin bought it for his meat market. He added the back room and brick facade.
