By 1930 the Walgreen drugstore occupied the southeast corner of Main and East Coffee streets. Its new building lacked architectural ornamentation but provided larger display windows. A dominant feature of the exterior was a large neon sign. Such signs were a hallmark of the new building era. Corner buildings were especially vulnerable to redevelopment.

Where the Walgreen drugstore once stood, Trio – A Brick Oven Cafe now resides.
