The Oatman Drug Company Building, located at 1 Main St. in Oatman, Arizona, was built in 1915. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2006. The building has served as a restaurant, as a drug/general store, as a medical business/office, as a professional building, and as a financial institution.[1][2]
It is a 120-by-30-foot (36.6 m × 9.1 m) two-story false front building, at the eastern edge of Oatman near the locally noted "Elephant's Tooth" rock outcropping.[2]
The building is significant for association with commercial activity—including historic Route 66 business—in Oatman. It is one of few surviving buildings from Oatman's boom years, c.1913-1934, since many buildings were destroyed in a 1921 fire.[2]
