sinister1 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The Picture below is what is thought to be location of the former drug store. The name of the Drug store in question was Richard's First Ward Drug Store then changed to Jones Drug Store some time later. If you know of this please share.

I want to say that Jones and Richard's were two different drugstores but could be wrong, the one below is what I think was Jones Drugstore.

Ross Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 In 1922, 1702 Houston Avenue was the National Theater. I can't find a listing in the city directory for that year for either of the drug stores. I'll look in other years when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hit a dead end so I'm guessing that Jones drugs was the second building the one across the street from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limb Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for looking into the historical background of 1702 Houston Ave. It's been a process but it's coming along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That building has always intrigued me. Glad someone is interested in it's survival and re-use. That's a nice b/w photo of the other previous drug store, as well. Never seen that before. That area has some nice historical structures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinister1 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for your help guys. It was still a Liquor store when I was living there in the 80's then it shutdown and was some type of shutter or carpenter company then it shutdown again and now it's like office spaces.
