    Obituary:
    DEATH OF AUGUSTE DUFILHO.

    Mr. Dufilho was the son of Mr. Alfred Dufilho, formerly of the firm of Lafitte & Dufilho, and was born In New Orleans. He was only 20 years of age anti was a graduate of the Jesuit’s College, in this city. He was possessed of a magnificent bass voice and gifted with an artistic temperament, and as a singer stood in the front ranks of the amateurs of this city. His voice was frequently heard in concert for the cause of charity, and he was one of the representative male singers who represented Louisiana at the world’s fair.
    Several years ago, Mr. Dufilho married Miss Corinne Delvaille, a daughter of Mr. Aristide Delvaille, and their union was blessed with two lovely children. The deceased was whole-souled, jovial and companionable, brave-hearted and true, and his taking off will be the cause of profound regret to a host of friends.

    Notes:

    America's first licensed pharmacist
    Dufilho's most significant contribution to the history and integrity of the field of pharmacy took place in New Orleans in 1816. In 1804, the State of Louisiana, led by Governor Claiborne, passed a law that required a licensing examination for pharmacists wishing to practice their profession.
    Prior to this law and before Louisiana became a U.S. State, there were some informal territory licensing measures, but none were enforced. A person could apprentice for six months and then compound and sell his or her own concoctions without any regulations or standards. The public received incorrect doses and erroneous medications. In 1804, Governor Claiborne established a board of reputable pharmacists and physicians to administer a three-hour oral examination given at the Cabildo in Jackson Square.
    Louis J. Dufliho, Jr. was the first lo pass the licensing examination therefore making his pharmacy the first United States apothecary shop to be conducted on the basis of proven adequacy.

    Louis J. Dufilho, Jr. Apothecary & Residence
    514/516 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA

    Louis J. Dufilho, Jr. purchased the 514/516 Chartres Street lots on June 5, 1822 from Philip Sadler. The original Creole townhouse was constructed between 1822 and 1823. Dufilho officially opened his apothecary for business in 1823. The courtyard originally had several structures that do not exist today.

    In 1837, New Orleanian architect, J.N.B. DePouilly proposed and constructed the updates to Dufilho’s building - three-story masonry porte cochere building with an entresol level.

    According to City Records, in 1855, Dufilho sold the building and the contents of the apothecary to Mrs. Celestine Pauline Fleitas, widow of James Dupas. She in turn, sold the building in 1875 to Peter Boehm who opened the Crescent City Paper Warehouse on the site.

    The building changed hands several times and was vacant for several years. On December 15, 1937, Mayor Robert S. Maestri purchased the building from the Interstate Trust and Banking Co. in liquidation. Mayor Maestri donated the building to the City of New Orleans in the same year to be used as a Napoleon Museum . Officials confused the history of 514 Chartres Street with the history of the Nicholas Girod House at 500 Chartres Street. The Girod House was the home designated for Napoleon’s exile, not 514 Chartres. After additional research, the City of New Orleans realized the significance of Louis J. Dufilho, Jr. and of 514 Chartres to the history of pharmacy and designated the site as the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. After some building repairs and artifact collection, the Museum officially opened its doors in 1950.
