Powell Veterinary Clinic

Powell Veterinary Center is the oldest veterinary clinic in the city still located at its original site. The clinic was built by Dr. Kreitzer in 1929 and served as both his residence and clinic. Its original name was Canine Clinic and Hospital as it reflected the only species considered to be a valuable enough pet to warrant spending money on. Until that era, the vast majority of veterinarians were trained to treat only the livestock and working animals of the time.
