Catskills Pharmacy and Apartment

Located in the Catskill Mountains of New York, there is a long-vacant pharmacy that has apartments on its upper levels.

The actual name of the location has been modified.

Harry Litwin owned the Catskill Pharmacy, which featured a soda fountain and a gift shop. ¹ The pharmacy was last registered with the New York State Board of Pharmacy for the years 1978 and 1979. Litwin, who was born on March 25, 1904, passed away in April 1980 at the age of 76.

Above the pharmacy, there were two apartments. One of the apartments was vacated in the 1990s, while the other was abandoned in the mid-2000s.

Besides Cairo, Detroit and Wheeling, I asked my Facebook readers of other examples.
