Historic pharmacy building in Central Lake has been demolished

CENTRAL LAKE-A former pharmacy building in Central Lake has been demolished following a determination that an adjacent garage was unsafe and required soil cleanup. Because the two structures shared a load-bearing wall, crews could not dismantle the garage without compromising the pharmacy building. Constructed around the turn of the 20th century, the building originally stood next to a large hotel. When that neighboring hotel destroyed by fire was cleared, the shared wall remained standing and the subsequent structure was built directly attached to it.

The structure was constructed with bricks manufactured directly in Central Lake. In addition to serving as a long-standing pharmacy, the building featured a deep foundation built to accommodate a small bowling alley in its basement. “It’s hard to watch
