Dr. L.J. Leech opened a medical practice in West Branch in 1882 and practiced here for the next 55 years. For many years he lived in the house one door to the north. In 1920 he moved to this home and lived here until his death in 1937. At his funeral, a message from former President Hoover praised Dr. Leech's long and useful life and his loyalty to his neighbors.This home has been preserved because it is in harmony with and contributes to the historic scene.
