William Nassau Allen (1818-1880) was a chemist and druggist at 48 Henry Street, a profession he had inherited from his father. Allen was not registered with Apothecaries Hall but would join the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland when it was founded in 1875, suggesting he saw himself as a maker and supplier of drugs not a doctor. He was a MRDS (1861). Allen’s shop was the meeting place for a group of photographic enthusiasts that became the Dublin Photographic Society in 1854.
