Thanks to Pilar Garza for this, on the a picture on the left: “I am writing because I was so happy to find this picture. This building is currently the York St. Cafe at 738 York. The bottom floor serves as the restaurant and still has all or most of the original cabinets from when it was the George Widrig Pharmacy. The second floor is a nightclub and the third is an art gallery. The fourth floor is a private art studio space. The owner, Terry Cunningham, says that there used to be a bank on the first floor, between the F.O.E. side entrance and the pharmacy entrance on the corner. Also, it is said that the bar in the second floor nightclub is from the old Wiedemann Brewing Company and was taken apart and brought there by the Eagles.” |
