Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

In 1792, Edward Stabler, a young Quaker pharmacist, rented a three-story brick building on Fairfax Street and started a family business which operated continuously for 141 years. When the Depression forced the shop's closing in 1933, the doors were simply locked. Most of the original herbs, potions and paper labels remain in their drawers and over 8,000 objects such as pill rollers, mortars and pestles, drug mills, carboys, medical glassware and furnishings are still in place.
