Notes:
I don't have any bottles from Dowell's pharmacy, but I have a few related items, depicted below.
William Fred Dowell (c.1882-1961) was a druggist in Manassas1.
Dowell's pharmacy opened c.1909, and by 1925 included a Soda Fountain.
The address of the pharmacy in 1941 was 202 Centre Street at Battle Street.2
I beleive that is modern day 9110 Centre Street, but I have not been able to verify that.
The original building (based on the postcard shown below) doesn't seem to be at that
location any more, but the newer brick building at 9110 Centre Street looks similar.
Dowells pharmacy lasted until at least 1942, as the last reference I could find
to it was from that year3.
A letterhead for the pharmacy from 1910 lists Dr. Walter Shannon as well as W. Fred Dowell,
so that might explain why the postcard below ambiguously says "Dowell's Pharmacy" on the
bottom edge, but the sign on the window says "Shannon's Drug Store".
