Dr. F. E. Coy stands in front of his home in 1922, holding hands with his two children, Betty and Filmer Coy. The home of Dr. Coy, or Doc Coy as he was known, is now Strands Old House Restaurant in Invermere. The Coys bought the house in 1920 from livery stable owners Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Ritchie, who built it in 1912. Doc Coy was for many years the only doctor between Cranbrook and Golden, and he treated many of his patients from a room in the house that he used as a consulting study.
