Dr. Daniel Lathrop, who operated the first apothecary in Norwich, died in 1782 and left an endowment of £500 for the establishment of a free school in Norwich, with the condition that it remain in session eleven months of the year. Built of brick in 1783, the school is located on East Town Street, off Norwichtown Green. The Daniel Lathrop School stands next to the shop of Joseph Carpenter, built in 1772.
