October 17 2026 500 WARREN R0001483-.jpg

This distinctive red door numbered 500 serves as the residential entryway to the upper-level apartments at the historic Delekta Corner Store building on Main Street in Warren, Rhode Island. The location itself has housed a pharmacy since 1858, making it a staple of the town's historic waterfront district for well over a century. The Delekta family purchased the landmark business in the 1940s and famously operated it as a neighborhood staple across three generations. While the traditional prescription-filling side of the pharmacy closed due to modern economic pressures, the legendary, old-fashioned soda fountain remains proudly open. Visitors and locals alike still slide up to the original wood-paneled counter to enjoy an authentic Rhode Island "coffee cabinet"—a classic regional milkshake-style beverage made with a secret, house-made coffee syrup recipe originally invented by patriarch Ignatius Delekta

It would be easy to find no doubt, it sounds like a place I would love.
