This building served as the workshop for the Bethabara doctors. Hans Martin Kalberlahn, the first doctor in Wachovia, died shortly after the building was completed. He was followed by many capable and dedicated physicians. The doctor served not only the Moravians in Bethabara, but tended the sick and injured of the entire region. In this laboratory, one may have found the doctor tending to minor injuries, performing an operation, or conducting the common practice of blood-letting.

"Our doctor, August Shubert, today performed an operation on an English woman, removing a dangerous growth."

Bethabara Diary, January 4, 1763.
