RIGSBY BUILDING, 229 HISTORIC ROUTE 66: This building was constructed in 1951 by Claude Rigsby. It replaced a frame building that had been built in 1941 to house his wife’s (Evalina) beauty parlor. The new brick building’s first story housed a barbershop, a beauty parlor, and a three-room apartment. The second story included two three-room apartments.
In the 60s-80s this building was known as Rexall Drug, (Seda's Gift Shoppe 2003-2018), until 2018 the south side of the building bore scars from a semi-truck crashing into it in the early 1980s. The tractor-trailer lost its brakes while coming down Waynesville Hill. The Rexall Drug Store sign is now located within the 1903 Courthouse Museum.
