Photo of the Old Town Shop. It has a false front with one central window in the front, two large bays on the ground floor, flanking a double door. On its right is the Driftwood Styling Salon. A sedan car is parked in front of the salon. The store is at the end of Main Street on the Front Street, Penn Cove side.
On the back: 2 NW Main Street. Sedge Building 1871, Race Drug Store 1890. Taken 1971
PNRO, page 163: built in 1890 for F. Puget Race Drug Store. Lower part a shoe store. Drug store later rented as an apartment. In the 1960s it became the Old Town Shop.
At some point it became Aqua (continues in 2019). Apparently there is a rental apartment on the lower floor.
Per the Arcadia Coupeville book, page 120: In 1909 F. P. Race built the first telephone office between his drug store and the Sedge building (ICHS). Per PNRO, page 162 - the exchange from 1900 to the 1930s.
