Description
The former G.W.Knight store became the IGA Dunstan Corner Market in the 1950s run by Leland Cunningham and J. Thomas Pemberton. The square addition to the side replacing what was once the former barn became Murray's Pharmacy which had a soda and ice cream fountain. Coffee was available also. This establishment was run by Elwood C. Murray. In 1966 the entire complex burned to the ground including G.W.Knight's house next door.
