Finnical's Pharmacy

Finnical’s Pharmacy once stood on North Main Street and was owned by Dr. O.A. Finnical. After graduating from medical school, Finnical enrolled in the Scio School of Pharmacy to become a pharmacist so he could ensure his patients received the medications they needed.

He later relocated the business to West Market Street and lived in the apartment above the pharmacy. The building once featured a soda fountain and later housed the County Kitchen Restaurant.

Today, the site is home to the office of Public Defender Adrian Pincola. It is located between the corner bank building and the Harrison County Senior Center.
