As a UNCG graduate with a degree in History, I always want to know the stories behind the things. What was it? Why is it there? How many lives has it lived? (What Are This?! Miss you Jenna!) If you’re interested in a little background about McArthur’s Drugstore, please read on: Frank Miller, a prominent figure in Winston Salem who focused on independent real estate with a particular interest in West End, built the row of townhouses on the corner of 4th St. and what is now Burke St. One of the buildings would be leased by a grocer named John T. Joyner. (Which is now Joyner’s bar). Another would be leased to Robert M. McArthur, Jr. McArthur opened West End Drug on January 30, 1915. If you’re interested in learning more of the story, Forsyth County Public Library has a great blog on the subject. It involves Jesse James and Gettysburg. I kid you not.
