Downtown Alva

Would not swear there were not other Monfort apartments, but there used to be apartments upstairs of most of the two-storied buildings around the square. Above the old Monfort Drug Store, located on the southwest corner of the square, in addition to apartments there were doctor and dentist offices. As I recall, Dr Simon, Dr Shephard, and Dr Ritchey had offices there. Above the Schumacher Drug Store, Hadwiger Law Offices were located. Above the Beegle Drug Store, located on the north side of the square, there was a Dr Kepford, and I believe Dr Stephenson. It was awful when you were sick to have to 'climb the stairs' to the doctor's office. Other buildings which had apartments were the Johnson Insurance, Old Surety Insurance. In the late '40's and early '50's, I delivered the Alva Review Courier to a number of apartments around the square."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
