The Standard Drug No. 2 is a historic commercial building located in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina. It was built between 1918 and 1924, and is a two-story, brick Commercial Style with street level, plate-glass windows. The interior retains an Art Deco-style lunch counter and pressed metal ceiling. Sit-ins were held at the lunch counter in 1960 and 1961, to protest segregation.{{Cite web | author= Sherry Wyatt and Sarah David| title=Standard Drug No. 2| work = National Register of Historic Places - Nomination and Inventory | date =July 2014 | url = https://files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/LR1437.pdf | publisher = North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office | accessdate = 2015-07-01}}
