OLMOS BHARMACY
L.D. "Doc" Gilmore, built the Gilmore Pharmacy back in 1938. Having already built the Laurel Heights Pharmacy on North Main Street in Monte Vista, he decided to build another so he could give one to each of his two sons. The Art Moderne style of the new exterior was considered quite daring for the area at the time, and today the building is an architectural treasure.
An Heirloom with an Extra "O"
The clock mounted on the building above the logo spells Olmos with an extra "O" - Olomos. There doesn't seem to be any explanation for it, just a shrug and the comment "Well, it's misspelled isn't it?" Now the mistake is part of the iconic facade, in addition to the fantastic neon on the pharmacy sign and in the two deco windows.
Pharmacy for Sale
After the loss of Gilmore's oldest son, whose ship was sunk during World War II, Doc decided to sell both pharmacies and retire. Richard P. Sandidge bought Gilmore's in 1944 and very shortly thereafter changed the name to Olmos Pharmacy. In 1970 Sandidge retired and sold the Olmos Pharmacy to its present owner George Stone, and what was once an ultra modern building on the day it opened 70 years ago is now a venerable and well-loved institution.
Preserving the Past
The Olmos Pharmacy closed in 2005, but the soda fountain, which has run continuously since the opening of the building in 1938, has remained intact, offering hamburgers and thick shakes during the day. And now, come nightfall, you can sip a glass of Alexander Valley Cabernet or down a Shiner Bock at the new Olmos Bharmacy, which occupies the space originally used for the pharmacy. The Bhar is the perfect fit for the location, allowing the entire building to once again serve it's neighbors, the decor to be saved in its current state, and the preservation of the exterior and interior neon that is so well known to generations of San Antonians.
The New Olmos Bharmacy
When you enter the Olmos Bharmacy, you turn back the clock, catching a glimpse of the past... You sit at the counter drinking this 'new invention', the milkshake (or beer milkshake) - best anywhere, they say. Photos of Olmos Park and Monte Vista in the 20's, the Pharmacy in the 40's, Doc Gilmore and other familiar landmarks are on display. Employees are constantly overwhelmed with stories of people's memories of the Olmos Pharmacy, reinforcing just how important this institution is to the modern history of San Antonio.
