Notes:
I don't know of the "Park Avenue Drug Co" was related to the "Park Place Pharmacy",
or if they just had similar names. The former was run by
Robert W. Webb Sr.1
Leon Murphrey Wootten (1886-1957)3
was the original owner of the Park Place Pharmacy.4
In 1920, the store was purchased by the Booker Drug Company5,
however the name did not change.
The store filed for bancruptcy in 19286.
The store doesn't show up in city directories between 1929-1933,
but then shows up again at a new address in 1934. 1
Meanwhile, after Wootten had left the Park Place Pharmacy, he opened a
new pharmacy using his own name, called "Wootten's Pharmacy",
as follows: 1
  Wootten's Pharmacy, 3205 Granby Street, Norfolk VA (1920-1924)
  Wootten's Pharmacy, 3115 Granby Street, Norfolk VA (1925-1928)
  Wootten's Pharmacy, 3113 Granby Street, Norfolk VA (1930-1935)
  Wootten's Pharmacy, 1901 Coloneal Avenue, Norfolk VA (1938-1944)
Note that the bottle below does not say "NORFOLK" on it, but the address
matches one of the addresses listed above.
