Dippold Drug Store

120 S Macoupin St., Gillespie, IL

East < GO > West

This drug store was established in 1919 and has continuously been a pharmacy. Ed Dippold and his father ran Dippold's Drug Store until the late 1980s. It became Michelle's Pharmacy in 2009. It is located on Macoupin between Walnut and Chestnut.

The mural was a joint city and donor project and was completed in May 2015. It tells the story of the drugstore and doughboy monument.

The "doughboy" depicted in the mural was originally located on the corner by Dippold's until traffic made it necessary to move it. The white sign tells a bit of the history of this intersection.
