"Built for $10,000 this Spanish Eclectic is
one of the few brick buildings in Danville.
The McDona1ds lived upstairs and ran the
drug store on the first floor where cigars,
stationery, magazines and hand painted
china were sold and a roll of Kodak film
was developed for only ten cents. It also
served as a news depot, soda fountain and
ice cream parlor. Kids from Camp Swain, a
summer program that served San Francisco's
orphans and foster children at what is now
Hap Magee Ranch Park, came downtown
to get ice cream here on "cone day."
