Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum

-A A +A
c. 1775. 1938, restoration, Thomas Tileston Waterman. 105–107 S. Fairfax St. Open to the public
  • Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (HABS)
  • Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (Richard Guy Wilson)

This building housed an apothecary from 1792 to 1933. The “colonial” look of the exterior, designed by one of Virginia's leading restoration architects, is not very accurate, for it covers an essentially Victorian interior, which contains wonderful Gothic-inspired shelves and counters.
