The Bee Pharmacy, 1920s 500 Balboa Street at Sixth Avenue in the 1920s., 1920 -
Here s another nice business photo from the past from WNP member John Freeman, who writes: [This] is 500 Balboa, northwest corner of 6th Avenue. It was called The Bee Pharmacy. City directories gave me a five-year window between 1924 and 1929. I suspect that it may have closed in 1930 for a few years, as the Depression worsened and competition came from another pharmacy on the next corner of 5th and Balboa. Later, when I was growing up in the neighborhood, it was Model Pharmacy, which sometime in the 1950s expanded into the building next door and moved the pharmacy counter from the north wall to the west side, taking up the section of the building next door.
