NIAGARA APOTHECARY Acquired by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969, the Niagara Apothecary is a fine example of a Confederation era commercial establishment and pharmacy. Although the building probably dates to the 1820s, it was extensively renovated in 1866 when it was taken over by an apothecary. At this time the Italianate windows were installed and the interior fitted up as a drug store. Until it closed in 1964 it was one of the oldest and one of the longest continuously operating pharmaceutical practices in Canada.

LA PHARMACIE DE NIAGARA La pharmacie de Niagara, acquise en 1969 par l'Ontario Héritage Foundation, représente bien la petite entreprise de l'ère de la Confédération. Érigé probablement durant les années 1820, l'édifice fut restauré en 1866. A cette date, on installa les fenêtres de style italien et on transforma l'intérieur en pharmacie. Avant sa fermeture en 1964, cette pharmacie était l'une des plus anciennes et des plus actives au Canada.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
