About This Property

Built circa 1901, the Link-Bratton Building was once home to East Texas’ leading drugstore, Bratton Drugs. The drugstore featured an elaborate ice cream parlor and mercantile. Bratton Drugs also manufactured Jenkin’s Headache Cure, Cinchona Hair Tonic, and Borated Lily Cream.

The second story housed offices for Dr. Fred Felder, architect O.L. Hazelwood, and other professional tenants. The thigh-high curbs outside were originally used when dismounting from buggies and horses.
