My Commentary:
Galena, being an old town and build along side steep hills, doesn't follow a grid pattern downtown. That said, this building is actually on the northwest corner of Hill and Main. I'm attaching a picture from the 1909 flood that shows the Drug Store and Hill Street. Picture was taken facing north.
On the north east corner of Main and Hill is the SINIGER AND SINIGER DRUG STORE, established in 1834 and in continuous operation since.
