Doctor John Allen lived across the road from the Hill-McNeal store. Unconvinced of the virtue of quinine for treating malaria fever, the doctor kept to such old remedies as Peruvian bark, jalop, calomel and boneset tea.
Peter Lukin, the cobbler, lived next door to Doctor Allen. The cobbler shop was in the small lean-to. As winter approached the cobbler converted piles of animal hides into shoes for the community.
Residence and office of Doctor Francis Regnier, Allen’s capable colleague, who purged, bled, blistered, puked, and salivated his patients.
The Doctor’s medical laboratory and reference library.
This was the home and workshop of Martin Waddell, the village hatter. He made hats from opossum, raccoon and rabbit skins. A rabbitskin hat cost fifty cents. A hat made from an opossum or raccoon skin, with the tail hanging down in the back, cost two dollars.
