Inscription. The building at 2424 Main Street was the home of R.G. Reynolds. The "Drug and Prescription Store" pictured here was approximately where the current post office is and belonged to the same Doc Reynolds and Godwin Scudamore. They might have had the first "chain" of drug stores in northern California with their shops in Lakeport, Upper Lake and Bartlett Springs. The great-grandsons of Scudamore, Tom and Joe Long, established the Longs Drug store chain from the family store in Covelo.
