Background

The building at the soutwest corner of New England Ave. and High Street (635 High St.) was built ca. 1834. The building housed Worthington's first drug store, operated by John Snow. His son, George R. Snow, was a physician. George's son Thomas was a druggist and occupied the building in the 1850's and 60's.
The building was sold in 1916 to Dr. Claude Longenecker, a dentist. He renovated the building in 1919, removing the original Dutch facade shown in this picture. The sign in front advertises a "RESTAURANT", but the advertisements painted on the side are for the Worthington Garage located at 625 High Street and Firestone tires.
