Hurricane Refuge

George S. McClellan was Pompano's first resident physician -- his office still stands on the northeast corner of NE 1st Avenue and 2nd Street.

Dr. McClellan'’s office, supposedly was the first building in Pompano made of concrete reinforced with steel. During the 1926 hurricane this small building was the haven of safety sought by members of six families who remained clustered there during the terrific storm, for over 24 hours.
