History

Dr. Robert C. Ogilvie was born in 1849 in

Campbellford, Ontario. He graduated from the University of Toronto Medical Department in 1870 and moved to Port Hope to establish a medical practice and start a drug store. His first drug store was located at this site, and he soon expanded it to include groceries. In early 1885, he moved the original building and construction on this building began in July. It was completed by November 1885. The main floor originally house Ogilvie's drug store. Ogilvie had other business interests, including a dock, mill and cooperage. In 1891, he formed a medical partnership with Dr. Lewis Fleckinstein, and in 1892 sold the drug and grocery store to Fleckinstein and Clark Bisbee. In 1895 Ogilvie moved to Superior, Wisconsin. The second story of the building remained unfinished until the 1930s, when the Leonard Brothers bought the building and finished an apartment on the second floor.^[2]
