The Murray Drug Company / Whit-Ash Furnishings, 919 Gervais Street: Fall 2024 1 comment
I found these pictures from April & May of 2012 -- Pretty much no change since then...
Whit-Ash has been in this location since 1974, making them a Vista stalwart before there was a Vista.
According to WIS this location was once the Murray Drug Company, and you should look at their article as it has a very nice historical picture and ad for that establishment.
Before moving to this spot, several articles mention a (non-specific) site on Saint Andrews Road as the original location for the store, and commenter Midnight Rambler found a 1973 State article listing it as at Boardwalk Plaza, which, of course was Bush River Road.
The owners are retiring, and don't have a definite end date for the closing sale, with the current plan being to sell down to the last piece of furniture.
You can read about Whit-Ash on ColaDaily, WLTX and The Post & Courier as well as the WIS link above.

I hope that whoever takes over the building will sand blast that ugly whitewash off and remove the awnings.
