History:

Dr. William Leck lived here in 1940.

“Dr. William F. Leck succeeded beyond expectation. His Practice increased to such an extent that Dr. Leck is one of the mainstays of the southern branch of the California Pedic Society, and was a prominent factor in the enactment of the California Chiropody law. He is a great stickler for organization and realizes the advantages that have accrued as a result of the chiropodists getting together.” (Source: Journal of the American Podiatry Association, 1918).
