Central Park, page 3

On the northwest corner of the square a mortar-and-pestle finial is still on the top of the Gothic-revival tower — it refers to the building's original function as a pharmacy. Enlarge.

Drugstores were housed in this building from 1857 until 1996, when Brown's Pharmacy closed (southwest corner of Broadway and Main St).

Enlarge drugstore.

The J. F. Crawford Building (now housing Davis and Palmer Real Estate) is much like it was in 1883 except for a discordant wooden shake-shingle canopy added in 1973. It hides the top of the cast iron Corinthian columns.

Look for the four young women's faces (or are they men's?) faces staring out from the cornice.

A postcard from the early 1900's shows this store in the lower right corner. It also clearly shows the Light Tower.     Look at this vintage postcard.
