2019.427.2771Douglas and Donald Macfarlan doctors
  • Publication, Literary, Article
  • People
Douglas and Donald Macfarlan, cover page from Philadelphia Medicine, A Century of Service, Volume 57, No. 22, June 2, 1961. Caption: "The red brick building at 1805 Chestnut Street has been a doctor’s office for ninety-one years. Malcom Macfarlan (1841-1921), a young Scottish immigrant, graduate of Yale and regimental medical officer with the 6th Maine Cavalry in the Alabama campaign (Civil War), came to Philadelphia with his bride, set up his office on Chestnut Street and proceeded to raise a family. Malcom’s two braw bairns, Donald, now 76, and Douglas, now 74, are shown on our cover this week examining the certificate of appreciation given each of them on May 10, 1961 by admiring fellow-practioners. They, with thirty-five other kindred spirits (see page 675), were honored for having practiced medicine in Philadelphia for fifty long years." (Douglas Macfarlan was Michael J. Macfarlan's father shown with his brother Donald. The Macfarlans purchased the historic Preble house on GCI from Louise Marr.)
