Snouder's Drug Store

Snouder's Drug Store

No one is sure how early the first building was built on this site. Snouder's Drug Store located since 1884 is the oldest continuously occupied business in Oyster Bay, New York. Established by Abel Miller Conklin. Conklin had been a druggist in New York City but moved to the countryside of Oyster Bay in 1880 because his doctor felt this would improve his health. His first drug store was elsewhere on South St though the exact location is unknown.

In 1884 he relocated here and carried on his business with the help of his son-in-law Andrew Snouder. In 1887 Andrew installed the first telephone in Oyster Bay, which for several years remained the only phone in town. Young Arthur Snouder took messages up to Theodore Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill.
