 In collaboration with Mendocino’s Kelley House Museum, MendoFever will be publishing their “This Day in Mendocino History” Facebook posts. The Kelley House Museum works hard to document and curate Mendocino County’s rich history and can be visited in the seaside town of Mendocino.

Mendocino Drug Company opened its new store in the Kelley building on the corner of Main and Lansing streets. The interior of the shop had snow-white woodwork, relieved by large panels with brown and green backgrounds. Manager John E. Triguerio carried drugs, sundries, art supplies, stationery, women’s hats, ice cream, and candy. He also installed a soda fountain. Later in the year, he added a display gallery that included needle work and artistic drawings.

Triguerio operated the drug store from 1914 – 1918. The Kelley building was built in 1871 by William H. Kelley as his general merchandise store and was later leased to Brown & Gray and then to the drug store.
