"Perfect for the aspiring alchemist, this tower addition will give you plenty of space and storage to hone your craft in comfort. And when you need a break from brewing potions, enjoy the view from the tower roof."
The Beginner's Guide to Homesteading[src]

The Alchemy Laboratory is a possible addition for the north wing of a homestead built in The Elder Scrolls V: Hearthfire.

Features

The Alchemy Laboratory is a towered structure that serves as a dedicated place where alchemy can be practiced. It offers a wide variety of alchemy related storage and furnishings, such as hanging racks and a washbasin. In addition, decorative mounted animal heads are available. Once it's fully furnished, a wide range of ingredients can be found throughout the tower.

Like the Library and Enchanter's Tower, a ladder from the second floor leads to a small rooftop balcony. An optional canopy also can be added to the balcony during construction.

Furnishings

The following is a list of all furnishings that can be added to the Alchemy Laboratory. Furnishings can be built manually at the indoor Carpenter's Workbench or added over a period time if done via a Steward. The cost of asking a steward to furnish the Alchemy Laboratory is 2500 Gold.

All furnishings are fixed in position and cannot be removed once they are built. The name of the furnishing option does not always accurately describe what will be added, as in some cases additional containers and accessories may be added, along with the main piece of furniture.

Containers

Note that the safes require the shelves to have been built first.

  •  360   PS3   If a steward is asked to furnish this particular room, the appropriate amount of gold may be taken, yet no furnishings appear. Exiting and re-entering the house doesn't resolve this issue.
  •  PS3   Some containers next to Alchemy Table (a barrel and two large sacks) cannot be accessed. The sack next to the inaccessible barrel can only be used when crouching.
