Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine

Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine is a one-story mid-19th century wood-frame building displaying medical and pharmaceutical tools, furniture, and books from the 19th and early 20th centuries and managed by the Montgomery County Historical Society. It originally stood at Monroe Street and Montgomery Avenue in Rockville, Maryland, as the office of Dr. Edward E. Stonestreet and was moved in 1972 to its current location next to the Beall-Dawson House. While Edward E. Stonestreet was completing his medical studies at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, his parents, Adelaide and Samuel T. Stonestreet, constructed an office for him in 1852 on the property of their residence in Rockville. He began his medical practice in this building in 1853 and continued to receive patients here until he died in 1903. In addition to practicing medicine, Stonestreet served on the Rockville City Council and served on the boards of the Medical Society of Montgomery County, Rockville Cemetery Association, Montgomery County Agricultural Society, and the Mutual Building Association of Montgomery County. His family was active in the Methodist Episcopal Church South in Rockville and his daughters dedicated the "Christ Knocking at the Door" stained glass window in his honor shortly after his death. In 1904, the Montgomery County School Board purchased the home of Dr. Stonestreet
