Blankenhorn/Gilmore house in Palm Springs recommended for historic designation Painted on the window above the Victorian-style apothecary on Main Street at Disneyland was the name 'D.S. Gilmore, M.D.' The name is still visible today, although the pharmacy below has since been overtaken by other retail offerings, but interestingly, Donald Gilmore was not a medical doctor. The name was placed there in 1954 during construction of Disneyland, with a gentle wink by Walt Disney himself, in homage to his friend and neighbor in Palm Springs at Smoke Tree Ranch, who was then chairman of the board of The Upjohn Company.
