Vieques Pharmacy (Spanish: Farmacia de Vieques) refers to a historic building that has formerly housed a pharmacy and the main post office of the island-municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico. The building is located in front of the main town square (plaza pública) of Isabel Segunda, the main settlement and administrative center of Vieques.[1] The building is a one-story masonry structure originally intended to be a commercial building. It dates to 1898 when it functioned as a pharmacy, the then called Farmacia de Vieques Liberty Drug underwent remodeling between 1900 and 1903 when the building was under the ownership of Victor Molinary Duteil, a French-Puerto Rican pharmacist and vice-consul of Denmark in Vieques. He was responsible for strengthening the diplomatic and economic ties between Vieques and the then Danish Virgin Islands and later, during and after the Spanish-American War, he helped establish various federal institutions in the island such as a post office and worked as an official translator for the U.S. government until 1910 when he was elected mayor of the island-municipality. Throughout the rest of its history the building continued to serve as a convenience store and as a bar. The building today maintains its architectural integrity and today is the oldest and best-preserved building of its type in Vieques, and the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994,[2] and to the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2001.[3]
