This building houses the Bill Abernathy Memorial Lifetime Learning Center providing after school educational and social opportunity for local students in and adult learning options in the mornings. It has a 1940 soda fountain It opened in 2007. It is not a public facility.

xI'm not sure if this is actually an old drug store or not, or when it was built, but it's a great use for an old building and a very cool sign. A Garrison's Restaurant listed this address in newspaper ads in 1922 and 1923.
