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. An awning with stripes on each end is over the front. A picket fence is on the right. Penn Cove visible behind the shop. The store is at the end of Main Street on the Front Street, Penn Cove side.
On the back: 2 NW Main Street. Old Town Shop (aka Puget Race drugstore)
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.
