Special thanks to Jean Doherty Stark for the five photos below. Jean is Bill Doherty's daughter. Some additional photos have been provided by Jean's daughter, Kathy Schaffer.
Some of the photos were tiny snapshots, so I was unable to get the sort of larger quality I would have like. If any of you have other photos or other memorability of the Tamm Pharmacy, please let me have copies, or to scan them.
Not only does this photo give us a great view of the drug store in its real hey-day, but the sacred totum -- the legendary mailbox is center stage.
A younger Bill Doherty than I remember. And he's doling out some Pepto Bismo!

Our side on Tamm Ave. is this red convertible which belonged to Mrs. Doherty. Jean thinks this is a 1951 car. Can you car experts out there help me out on this?
