- Scope and Content
- Brick office building of the late Dr. William Brock, at the north corner of Graham and Maple Streets, West Lorne, 1987. Published in the West Lorne Sun, March 12, 1987 with the caption: "A West Lorne landmark is coming down: the white brick office of the late Dr. William Brock, who was the village's first doctor. He had the office built in front of his house at the north corner of Graham and Maple in 1877, where he doctored thousands of patients until the day he dropped dead there in 1916. When not busy, he would play checkers with patients. The doctor's office and home are now owned by Doug Carmichael, who will renovate the house to four apartments. First bricks were removed from the office the first of the week. Dr. Brock was West Lorne's first doctor and first reeve, being elected in 1907, when the village was incorporated. Previously, he served on Aldborough's council. He was a staunch Conservative and member of Grace Anglican Church, where he was the Rector's Warden. He taught school in Jarvis and Wardsville before becoming an MD and setting up a practice in Wardsville, moving to Rodney for few months before deciding on West Lorne as his permanent location. He died after practicing 39 years. the late Mrs. John Henchberger was a daughter".
