Located on the site of the old Black Lion public house, this pharmacy has been in continuous use since its construction. The early twentieth-century shopfront and the signwriting contribute to the urban character of Inchicore village. The retention of early windows enhance the facade, and the multiple pane toplights echo those of the well-designed shopfront. Though the interior has been extended to the north, the retention of the original display cabinets adds to the historic character of the building and continue to serve the community today.
