Shown are the remains of Kress Drug after it was consumed by fire on April 14, 1950. The fire had started in the Widmann Hotel and spread across First Avenue to the Kress Drug building. This building was torn down and replaced by a one-story building in which Kress Drug reopened in September 1950. In the front part of the basement, Ed Nobis’ barbershop also reopened. Nobis formerly occupied the same space in the old building. Singer Sewing Machine Store now occupies the building. (Photo courtesy of Mitchell Historical Society.)
