Main Street Storage
Denison, TX
The Main Street Storage building previously housed Barrett Drugs. The curved canopy was probably installed in the 1950s or 1960s. That was kept while the upper facade was remodeled around 2008. This photo is from 2011. The "radios", "cameras", etc. signs are from when the building housed the drug store. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
