1876  Norfolk Drugstore

Now a private residence, this building was originally built as the Norfolk Drug Store, purchased by George T. Johnson in 1876. It is said that when he came east from Texas, Johnson intended to go to Norfolk, Virginia, but when he purchased his ticket at Grand Central Station in New York he was mistakenly given one to Norfolk, Connecticut. He stayed and operated the Drug Store for over sixty years. It was relocated to the Royal Arcanum building (No. 50) in 1906.
