The pharmacy business was started by the owner Ingemar Kersfeldt on April 1, 1898, and at the same time the gilded stork with a snake in its beak was fastened over the entrance. The culturally and historically valuable facility was designed by the carpenter Carl Fredrik Allard and made by the carpenter Petter Nilsson. The material consists of rosewood , ebony and jakaranda . The style is neo-renaissance with neo-Gothic elements. The glass ceiling was painted by the German artist Fritz Rosenthal and depicts allegories of health and illness as well as life and death. Busts and portrait medallions show well-known doctors and researchers. The walls are lined with imitation Kolmården marble. The shelves of the sales room are true to the original with items from the early days of the pharmacy, along with modern packaging and equipment.
