HUNTINGTON â For more than 40 years, a modest-sized brick building built in 1937 on the northeast corner of 6th Avenue and 18th Street was home to a popular neighborhood pharmacy.
The pharmacy originally opened as a White Cross Drug Store. Later it was known as Turner & Tanner Drugs and was operated as a partnership between James Clyde Turner and Earl Henry Tanner.
The 1947 edition of the Huntington City Directory still listed the store as Turner & Tanner Drugs, but the 1949 Directory listed the store as Tannerâs Pharmacy Inc., and identified Tanner as its president.
