Now & Then

Photographs of our communities, as they are now, as they once were

Dr. George Lockhart of King City served as physician to that community from 1900 until his death in 1941. He was a familiar sight in the area, regularly making house calls, in the summer by horse and buggy, and in the winter by horse and cutter.

His home on the west side of Doctor’s Lane at the intersection of King Road is still a landmark in the town. This 1912 photo shows his three children, Douglas, Randolph & Louise and also shows the magnificent porch that graced two sides of the building. Unfortunately, the dark blotch in the “Then” picture is part of the photo.

The property is now used to house commercial businesses.
