The Waldron Brothers Drugstore, also known as the Gitchell Building, is the oldest intact building in The Dalles, Oregon. Built in 1864, the structure has served as a pharmacy, a post office, a ticket office, a Masonic lodge, a haunted house, and as apartments. It has also housed offices for a local newspaper. The building underwent repairs in 2009 but has been slated for demolition. It was included Restore Oregon's 2019 list of Oregon's most endangered places.[1] Following an effort to save the building,[2] Dalles City Council chose preservation.[3]
