Elkton NAPA site history tied to Spotswood Ave building
Elkton residents recalled NAPA’s long town presence dating to the late 1940s during Monday’s town council session. The 409 West Spotswood site moved around since 1967 under Al Rosen, later acquired by Welds in October last year, with current Spotswood Avenue building built in 1962 by the Haden family. Cottonwood Commercial partners Butch Strawderman and Ken Kline bought the property in 2011 and undertook a major renovation amid strong local cooperation.
