Thet a Sai di + doctor, Aaron Jesse Campbell in 1882. Dr. Campbell sold the house and practice to Dr. Jabez B. Olver in 1885, but bought it back a few months later. Dr. Olver began his practice in Greenbank in 1868. He later practised briefly in Port Perry before establishing his short-lived practice in Wil- liamsburgh. After Dr. Campbell had re-acquired the practice, he continued to serve the community until he sold the “Medical Hall” to Dr. William A. Fish in 1888, the year after the community had offi- cially been renamed Blackstock. Dr. Fish served the community until he sold the home and practice in 1901 to Dr. John McCulloch for $3,600. Dr. McCul- loch stayed for five years before selling to Dr. Robert Burrows Harris in 1906. Dr. Harris had graduated from the University of Toronto Medical school that year and immediately opened his practice here. After only two years, Dr. Harris decided to venture into Northern Ontario where he spent the remainder of his career before retiring to Port Perry in 1946. When he left Blackstock in August 1908, Dr. Harris sold the house and practice to Dr. Archibald McArthur, a native of Greenbank. Blackstock was also the first location in which Dr. McArthur practiced. In 1919 he was joined in the practice by his brother Dr. John A. McArthur. In September 1925 Dr. Archibald McArthur moved to Toronto, leaving the practice to his brother. Dr. John Alexander McArthur continued to practice here until his death in July 1966. The Medical Hall was sold to Blair and Janet Martyn in 1992. One of the most unique features of this century old home is the majestic tall tower, with its elaborate yellow and red brick work, and omate roof line. Bougog Reatty Lid.
