EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston around the turn of the twentieth century, offers a glimpse into the past through the front window of Hurlebaus' Drug Store. Located at the intersection of 14th and V Streets in Washington D.C., this drugstore was a staple in the community during the early 1900s. The image, published in the Washington Post on July 14, 1907, showcases a close-up view of the store's exterior, with the intricately designed window display taking center stage. The window is adorned with various medicinal remedies, each labeled with detailed descriptions and promises of cures. The lettering on the window is crisp and clear, revealing the store's offerings, which range from tonics and elixirs to powders and ointments. The drugstore's exterior is a testament to the era's design sensibilities, with ornate details and a sense of order that reflects the values of the time. The storefront's simple yet effective signage, which reads "Hurlebaus' Drug Store," adds to the overall charm of the photograph. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating look into the past, providing a glimpse into the types of goods that were available at local drugstores during the early 1900s. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that small, locally-owned businesses played in communities during this era, offering essential goods and services to their neighbors.
