1200 Union Street |
The
Home
Drug Co. at Hyde and Union was among the last of a dying breed, the
neighborhood drugstore. Operating as a pharmacy at this location for almost
the entire 20th Century, The Home Drug Co. was done in by HMOs and chain
companies. According to its leasing agent, the property is something of
an albatross. The company has had no serious interest in the property at
the time this item was posted in June, 2001. The 1,100 sq.-foot store requires
expensive upgrades in order to become compliant with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. It is unlikely that a pharmacy will exist again at this
location. The former longtime drugstore is located directly across the
street from Swensen's Ice Cream Parlor,
one of San Francisco's most enduring neighborhood institutions.
