History

The entrance

The Theodore Green Apothecary was designed by architect Samuel Newsom, for pharmacist and educator Franklin Theodore Green (1863–1944).^[3] The architecture features rounded oriel windows, oval windows, and arched windows, juxtaposed with sharp gables in the roof.^[6]

This building is a rare example of an unaltered 19th-century storefront within the city of San Francisco.^[3]
