Drive south on Broadway Avenue and you will find this wonderful example of an unaltered 19th century Queen Anne/Neoclassical Commercial building, circa 1890. The building still has the original storefront windows, doors and recessed oriels. Most windows have flat arched bonded brick and stone sills. The roof features a stepped brick parapet with stone coping, brick chimneys and projecting wood cornice. A modern cloth awning and lights have been installed along the front, beneath the wood frieze and projecting cornice. It was once the drugstore of Carole Lombard’s uncle. As a child, Lombard liked to visit and drink a soda. It has housed many different businesses, including Chappell’s Seafood Market and Coral Grill restaurant, and currently is home of Trubble Brewing. ARCH is proud to present this edition of Throwback Thursday, part of its work as the historic preservation organization serving the greater Fort Wayne area, made possible by ARCH members and donors. Thank you.

Besides the Coca-Cola ghost sign, there's a sign that marks this as Otto Peters' drugstore. A very cool building, formerly at the corner of Broadway and Beaver. The corner has been replaced by the plaza. The building still stands.
