By 1934, it was the second location of Spellman Pharmacy, which originally opened by Lee Spellman at N. 16th and Yates Street. In 1947, Spellman Pharmacy moved to 2611 N. 45th Street and closed their first location. In 1957, the business was sold it to Howard Kirk, and it became the Kirk Pharmacy, complete with a soda fountain and part of the tight neighborhood around it. Kirk's original pharmacy was in the Near North Side, and he moved it from N. 24th and Sprague St. to the Clifton Hill neighborhood. Kirk retired in 1979 and the building became Sav-On Drugs, with that closing in 1983. That year the building became an office, and now its been a daycare since 1992. A sordid tale of lies, deception and 50 years of shenanigans sits underneath the North Freeway... and I dug it up! Find it online now at the link in my bio.
