Pomeroy's Animal Hospital, St. Paul, MN
Pomeroy's Animal Hospital, 185 7th Street East, St Paul, Minnesota. Dr. Benjamin A. Pomeroy graduated from Montreal Veterinary College in 1883, and moved to St. Paul afterward to work with a colleague. In 1886, he opened his own office. “In those days, a veterinarian was a horse doctor—literally,” Dr. Pomeroy told the Minneapolis Star in 1953. “Over 98 per cent of our work was with horses.” Dr. Pomeroy’s three sons followed him into veterinary medicine; Dr. Benjamin S. Pomeroy became a professor at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Harold Pomeroy stayed with the hospital, and Dr. James Pomeroy moved to Iowa to practice. In 1956, when his father died at the age of 94, Dr. Harold Pomeroy took over the practice. Around this time the hospital became exclusively a small animal practice. In 1979 Harold Pomeroy died, and his son Fred took over the practice.
