Hiott’s, a small corner pharmacy, has stood for more than 80 years at the end of East Washington Street in downtown Walterboro.
The building was designed and constructed by J.S. Mitchell utilizing the art deco styling popular during the period between the first and second World Wars.
Originally called Peoples Pharmacy in 1938, it was owned and operated by Dr. Joe Mole. The pharmacy was later purchased by brothers Johnny and Eddie Hiott and renamed Hiott’s Pharmacy.
