A pharmacy that's been around in Toronto for 115 years has just recently passed from being run by one family of pharmacists to a member of another. Snowdon Compounding Pharmacy was actually originally located at College and Grace when it was first opened in 1906 by Charlie Snowdon. His son Ted Snowdon became a pharmacist in 1939, taking ownership of the business in the 1940s and eventually buying the pharmacy at 264 Bloor West in what's now known as U of T's Jackman Humanities building, moving the operation there.
