Avenue Drug Store
Drugstores--California--Ventura
Exterior view of the Avenue Drug Store. Car parked on sidewalk by building. Drugstore and Coca-Cola signs visible on front of building.
Note with photograph: "This was my father's Drug store from about 1910-1960. His name was John H. McClaran. I believe this photo was taken when he first bought the store. It was later renamed Avenue Pharmacy. For the first few years it had a full fountain with sodas, sundaes, etc. However, it became difficult to get ice cream as the war went on. It was located at Ventura Ave. and Vince Street and is now a tutoring center."
