Old Photos of Downtown Kalispell

Alton Pearce Drug Co.

Before Coins and Carats was started in 1991, Alton Pearce Drug Co. was in the downtown store that we are now in. They were one of the prominent businesses during the growth spurt of Kalispell and managed to collect photos of downtown throughout their time running the store. We have curated these here.
