Notes:

•  Simpson lists two addresses for Dr. Gowan's Dental Office. One was in the Times Building (6th floor). The other was 401 Washington Street. - Simpson

•  "In addition to housing the operations of a newspaper, the Times Building has been home to many other occupants. For several decades the majority of the city's doctors and dentists had offices there. A 1940s city directory lists five doctors, five dentists, and two chiropractors. Long time Huntsville residents recall dreaded visits to dentists- Dr. Coons, Dr. Dillard, and Dr. Gowan-when teeth were drilled and pulled without benefit of Novocain. Physicians included Drs. Carl A. Grote, Sr., Thomas E. Dilworth, John D. Moorman, and Frank Jordan." - Jones and Ellis
