Description
View of front elevation of Davidson Shop when it housed R.W. Mahone & Co. General Merchandise, 1935. Located on the north side of Duke of Gloucester Street, the building was reconstructed according to archaeological, architectural, and documentary evidence. In the eighteenth century, it served as a combination residence and apothecary shop for Robert Davidson. Initial use of the restored building as a grocery and hardware store provided residents with a retail space while adding to the colonial ambiance for town residents and tourists.
