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 was Brenda's Gifts, then it became Aqua (continues in 2019). Apparently there is a rental apartment on the lower floor.
