The
Old Bunker Hill Café
was built in 1916. It is a native
stone building typical of the architecture
of this era in this, the last of the
Post Rock.
It
was originally a drugstore-soda fountain
established with the druggist’s
living quarters upstairs. Also upstairs
were the offices of a doctor and a
dentist.
As Bunker Hill slowly faded away,
this building changed from a drugstore
to a café to a pool hall to
a café again. It remains today
a reminder of yesterday.
The
Bunker Hill Historical Society provides
us with a further study in the history
of the area at the Museum, one block
east of the Café. |
