HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum.
The original Alexandria apothecary buildings survive as a remarkably intact museum containing shop fixtures, furnishings, bottles, medical ingredients, documents, and business records. City preservation maintains the interconnected structures and collections, presenting the commercial interior largely as it appeared when the family pharmacy closed.
About Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum
Edward Stabler came to Alexandria after apprenticing in the apothecary business with his brother in Leesburg, Virginia. A devout Quaker and savvy businessman, he rented space in 1792 at the corner of King and S. Fairfax to start his business and by 1796, he began renting 107 S. Fairfax. Nine years later, he took ownership of the building and turned it into a bustling apothecary business. By 1829, he had purchased 105 S. Fairfax and incorporated the building into his operation.
