Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop

The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop/Museum is a memorable pharmacist's shop in Alexandria, Virginia, USA, that has been saved as an exhibition hall. Amid its working life, the medication organization was claimed by ages of a Quaker family. Eventually, a sensational decrease in deals amid the Great Depression constrained the shop to close its entryways. Very quickly, in 1939, it was revived as an exhibition hall. Today, the majority of the ancient rarities inside the shop are bona fide and date to its closing.

Edward Stabler came to Alexandria subsequent to apprenticing in the pharmacist business with his sibling in Leesburg, Virginia. A dedicated Quaker and adroit specialist, he leased space in 1792 at the edge of King and S. Fairfax to begin his business and by 1796, he started leasing 107 S. Fairfax. After nine years, he took responsibility for building and transformed it into a clamoring pharmacist business. By 1829, he had bought 105 S. Fairfax and joined the working into his activity.
