This corner building has been home to a drug store dating back to 1913. Once a two-story building with an elevated parapet and cornice, a fire in the early 1960s destroyed the second floor. The building's longest-running occupant is Newcomb's Drug Store, established in 1955 by prominent cotton farmer, Guy Newcomb.

Marker is at the intersection of East Hale Avenue and Railroad Street, on the right when traveling east on East Hale Avenue.
