A survivor from the turn of the 20th century located in Portal,
Bulloch County, Georgia. The pump on the left dispensed
gasoline and the smaller one kerosene. This is a tonemapped

"Dr. Stewart, Portal's first doctor, built this drugstore in 1907,
a year before the town was incorporated. The small wooden building
served as a pharmacy, doctor's office and soda fountain over the years,
and Dr. Stewart was known to do surgery in the back of the drugstore
while his wife tended the soda fountain in the front. The drugstore
also housed Portal's first telephone, which was used for long distance
calls, and served as the center of the community for many years. Though
the drugstore closed in 1950, its interior remains largely intact.
With medical books and instruments, stocked shelves and the soda
fountain still inside, this is perhaps the most thorough and
authentic example of an early community pharmacy in the entire
state." Quote from the Georgia Trust.
