Family History


My grandpa recently gave me these wonderful old pharmacy bottles from my family's drug store. My great-grandparents started a pharmacy tradition in the early 1900s. My great-grandpa was an apprentice pharmacist, and together with my great-grandmother they opened a pharmacy that would be run by three generations of pharmacists. I am now the fourth generation pharmacist, and while we no longer have the drug store, I have filled my home with pieces of pharmacy history. I realize this style choice is unique, but I love that it is uniquely my family's.
