Landmark Building

The original veterinary hospital building, now known as Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital, was constructed in 1926 by the Millar family.    It was one of the first veterinary hospitals in the nation constructed specifically to treat small companion animals (dogs and cats.)
The veterinary practice was founded in 1894 by Dr. Harry C Millar.  The Millar practice tradition was continued for three generations.  Dr. Harry Sr. was followed by his son Joe Millar, and then his grandson, Dr. Harry Millar, Jr..  Dr. Harry Jr. sold the practice to Drs. Delaney and Wefer in 1986.  The Millars were leaders and innovators in the veterinary field.  They were one of first veterinary hospitals to have an x-ray machine, and to practice sterile surgery techniques.
