Information

This building was constructed in 1956 to serve as the new Rexall Drug Store, replacing the earlier wood-frame drug store further north on Main Street. It featured the first red brick façade on Main Street. The Drug Store was co-owned by druggist Griff James, who already had the James Drug Store in Grande Prairie, and Bob Dowling, who served as the resident pharmacist. Dowling was a pillar of the community before moving on to practice in Jasper in 1958, where he would serve as an MLA and Minister for Tourism. His immediate replacements lived in Grande Prairie. In later years, the building became the Sexsmith Wellness Center.
