It was Dr. Armstrong who suggested to Margaret McNamara that she take in patients in her home (see SC29-26, 415 East Second Street). He practiced for many years (until 1966) at 103 North Knowles (see SC 25-7). The residence has no historical significance. Note: This house is shown in a trettscene with SC22-18 (105 S.
