Niagara Apothecary information


Niagara Apothecary
A cloudy sky is visible in the top left, behind the gable of a roof at the front of which is mounted a large, bronze, ornamental mortar and pestle over a clapboard siding. Below the gable is a narrow masthead reading "Niagara Apothecary" in gold lettering contrasted by a dark red background. Below that are two large arch windows flanking a French door. To the left is a portion of a brick building, and at bottom left are flowers.

The Niagara Apothecary was an apothecary in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, established no later than 1820, and is now a National Historic Site of Canada. It was operated by a series of successive owners, most of whom had apprenticed under the preceding owner. In the 1960s, it was purchased by the Niagara Foundation, which targeted the building and its contents for preservation. It was purchased by the provincially-owned Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969, which undertook a preservation effort culminating in May 1971, when the property was re-opened as a museum.

The museum is rendered as a typical Confederation-era apothecary. It is operated by the Ontario College of Pharmacy, and receives about 100,000 visitors annually.
