In this building, the practice of medicine commenced in 1891. It was begun by Edward Livingston Trudeau, continued by his son Francis Berger Trudeau and perpetuated and expanded by his grandson Francis Berger Trudeau, Jr. as Medical Associates of Saranac Lake. The Doctors Trudeau, and their successors, have treated and cared for the people of the North Country for over a century.

Dr. Francis Berger Trudeau was the fourth and last child of Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Trudeau, and the only one to live to survive them.

Trudeau's home and office at the corner of Church and Main Streets, where his son Francis B. Trudeau later joined him. Not surprisingly, Francis Trudeau's medical interests centered on tuberculosis. He wrote a number of papers on the subject, and served as a director of the National Tuberculosis Association. (Submitted on April 2, 2020, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
