Stumbled upon this ghost sign in Austin, turns out to be a place where O. Henry worked for a time…
Many do not know that William Sydney Porter worked in a drug store in Greensboro, North Carolina which enabled him to use his knowledge at the Morley Brothers Drug Company where he worked in 1884. This building housed a drug store until 1985. Source: Historic Walking / Driving Tour, Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau, 201 East 2nd Street, Austin, Texas.
