wholesale/retail drug business. The elegant interior by Charles Hester, New
York City, contained the area's first rubber tile floor. In addition to
health wares; window glass, paints, seeds, musical instruments and other
sundries were dispensed. The building remained a pharmacy until 1979.

combined commercial residential use with John Mott, AIA, Ft Smith, Arkansas

1980 |
