Untapped Cities | Nearly Two Centuries Old, Greenwich Village's C.O. Bigelow is The Oldest Apothecary in America
Established in 1838 by Dr. Galen Hunter, C.O. Bigelow was originally located at 102 Sixth Avenue. At the time, however, it was called the Village Apothecary Shop until an employee, Clarence Otis Bigelow, purchased the shop in 1880 and moved it to its current location on 414 Avenue of the Americas in 1902.
