When the original apothecary on this premises was forced to close during the Depression, in 1933, the doors were locked but the contents in the Gothic Revival interior were left intact: over 8,000 objects, including pill rollers, mortars and pestles and hand-blown medicine bottles with gold-leaf labels, remained. It reopened as a museum in 1939. There is also a collection of archive materials, with journals, letters, and prescription and formula books.
