The oldest surviving commercial structure in Litchfield is the Apothecary Shop of Dr. Reuben Smith. Built in 1781, the Apothecary Shop was formerly located next to his house on North Street, but in 1812 was moved to its current location north of the Green, to become Luke Lewis‘s grocery shop. It has served various commercial purposes over the years.
