Dr McCall was our family doctor for many years in fact I (1951)and two of my siblings 1952,1953 were delivered by Dr McCall. As a child I visited his office on a regular basis for all the childhood shots that were then administered. The building was very unique and seemed very modern back then - my younger brother (1956) now owns a house in North County that was designed by Harris Armstrong on Old Jamestown Rd - when I first saw it before knowing its history I told my Mom that it reminded me of Dr McCalls office in Brentwood -this style of architecture definitely made an impression at a very young age. I've enjoyed perusing your website
