Health History | Abbott — The Back Room on Ravenswood Avenue
kevin
People treat Abbott as an Abbott Park campus that arrived already making tests and devices.
Wallace Calvin Abbott, a thirty-year-old physician with a People's Drug Store, began making alkaloidal granules in the rear of that shop in Ravenswood, Chicago, in 1888.
He incorporated the Abbott Alkaloidal Company in 1894 and put a factory about a block and a half from his house, at 4753 North Ravenswood Avenue. The house he built in 1891 still stands at 4605 North Hermitage.
A 1905 fire and the fumes from the lab soured the neighbors. The firm opened a London office in 1907 and left the city for North Chicago in 1922.
AbbVie later took the U.S. drugs. The first granules were made on this street.
