Hulbert Harrington Warner
|
Hulbert Harrington Warner (1842–1923) was a Rochester businessman who made his fortune from sales of patent medicine.
He founded Warner's Safe Remedies Company (also known as Warner's Safe Cure Company) and sold liver pills and other products. He built a mansion in Rochester and in 1882 built Warner Observatory for the use of the astronomer Lewis Swift. However, he lost his fortune in the Panic of 1893 and left Rochester and moved to Minnesota, to live out his life in obscurity.
