This building was built in 1922 as a drug store. Later it was Judge Slamon's
Western Variety Store before becoming home to the Ash Fork Hardware store.
During the great depression in the 1930's the WPA administered public
works all around the US, the Flagstone sidewalks in Ash Fork were part
of one of those projects.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
