How's this for your Throwback Thursday? 👀 Recognize this building? Before it was home to varsitytavernaz and lowkeypianobar, this iconic saloon-style building on the corner of 5th and Mill was the Laird & Dines drugstore. (image circa 1900) “The building once housed an established drug store that served Tempe citizens for 63 years. It also served as the community’s unofficial town hall, political campaign headquarters, and boardroom. The building owners, Laird and Dines, also served terms as Tempe mayor and on the Town Council.” (Tempe Preservation) In modern Tempe history, this building has been a Hooters and even a McDonalds! . . . . . . #thursday #throwbackthursday #millave #tempearizona #tempehistory #historicalbuildings #millavenue #varsitytavern #lairdanddinesdrugstore #lairdanddines #history #asu #sundevils #tempeaz
