Paden's Drug Store, at 1200-1208 E Ave. in Carrizozo, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It was built in 1907.
The listing includes two buildings. The most prominent is the two-part commercial building built in 1909 and modified to add a second story, by Carrizozo builder D.B. Tennis, in 1917.[1] In 1937, Melvin G. Paden sold the pharmacy to “Red” Eaker who retained the "Paden" name and ran the store until 1954.[2] In 1977, Carrizozo resident Roy Dow, who owned a gift shop, moved his shop in the Paden Drug Store.
Paden's Drug Store recently operated as a Gift Gallery and Ice Cream Parlour.
In April 2022, Marc Cohen and Julia Danielle quietly purchased the Paden Drug Store building, with plans to make improvements.
