1045 Liberty Street, The Burg, Once Episcopo's Drug Store


1045 Liberty Street, The Burg. The Corner of Chambers Street
and Liberty Street. Once Episcopo's Drug Store (They are still
here a few doors down).
Legend has it that Babe Ruth hit a Home Run at Wetzel Field
across the street and broke this drug store's window.
I don't know if its true. But its cool as legends go:)

I heard that story from when
I was very young.

That it was a speakeasy during prohibition. He also said that the building down Chambers on the opposite side,near E Howell, which was Casteltermini Club in the 70's was a speakeasy too.
