The Landmarks Society, begun in 1933, owns and operates the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop Museum and an adjoining antique
and gift shop. The Landmarks Society's express purpose is to preserve and maintain the historic
apothecary, which was founded in 1792 and operated continuously until 1933.
The records in this collection cover the financial transactions of the Landmarks Society, from its founding in 1933-34, through
1976. Included are all of the disbursements from 1934-1944, a financial account book from 1952-1960, and Treasury Reports
from 1963-1975, calculated by Esther Holliday Green, the Treasurer of the Landmarks Society.
The Internal Revenue Income Tax Exemption Forms, application for an Alexandria
City License and Annual Reports to the State Corporation Commission of Virginia also pertain to the Museum and Antique Gift
Shop. Of particular interest are several variations of the Landmarks Society's By-Laws, a newspaper article on the 1960 death
of Edward R. Stabler, one of the last owners and druggists of the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop, and the membership file
of the Landmarks Society.
