Built in the 1930s, the APhA historic national landmark headquarters building has been maintained but never renovated or updated except for the annex added in the 1960s.
The improved building will be a symbol of pharmacy’s rich heritage at one of the most prestigious locations in the country, highlighting the profession’s contribution to health care. The APhA headquarters is the only privately owned building on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope, whose work includes the National Archives and the Jefferson Memorial, the APhA headquarters is a landmark symbolizing a lasting dedication to the advancement of the profession of pharmacy and the contribution that medicines make toward building a healthier society. The expanded building will serve as the national hub for the entire profession, providing a venue for pharmacists from all associations to gather, explore new opportunities, foster partnerships, and demonstrate the importance of the profession to the public, media, and policymakers.
