This two-storey wood frame and stucco building, at the southeast corner of Second Street and Park Avenue in Lac du Bonnet, was built around 1914 for Swedish immigrants Nels and Christina Johnson who occupied it until 1916 when it was sold to Richard N. Campbell. He ran a general store here from 1916 to 1950.
In 1950, the building was sold to George and Linda Ambrose from Whitemouth and they opened Ambrose Pharmacy. It was renamed as Carson Pharmacy in 1975 by new owners Ken and Betty Carson. They later sold it to the Ingham family to become as Ingham Pharmacy. At the time of a 2023 site visit, the building is now being occupied by Daley’s Pharmacy.
