Over the years there have been countless medical students, doctors, nurses and many others in the medical field as Westminster residents.
At one time we had doctors from almost every specialty residing at Westminster at the same time. This is no big surprise with all the world class medical schools in the city.
Recently one of our current residents sent me an interesting historical document about the use of the building (Westminster Arch) around the turn of the century.
It documents the occupant of the building as a factory and retail outlet manufacturing medical instruments.
The company was called George P.Pilling & Son Company and they manufactured thousands of medical devices.
The catalog is available online.
The Pilling company would feel right at home in Philadelphia today as the city has reinvented itself from manufacturing to ‘eds and meds’
