Cornelis Evertsen Plugge passed his medical exam at the age of thirty and opened a general practice in Strijen. In 1901 he moved with his family to Souburg, where his father, Jacobus Johannes Plugge, already had a practice as a general practitioner. With this, the village acquired its second general practitioner after a long time. 

Plugge junior built a new large house next to his father's house on the spot where senior had his coach house.

In addition to his position as a general practitioner, Cornelis Evertsen Plugge was appointed municipal physician and began to play an important role in the regional medical world. He was the founder of the Souburg-Ritthem branch of the Groene Kruis. He was also involved in the fight against tuberculosis, the association "The hygiene of the child" and the local committee for aid to Belgian refugees during the First World War.

In 1926 he transferred his practice to doctor Huijsman. Doctor Plugge junior celebrated his 40th anniversary in May 1935, was offered a celebratory dinner by his colleagues and the brass band "Vlijt en Volharding" serenaded the jubilarian. Two weeks later he died from the consequences of a malignant pneumonia. The well-known reverend L.C. Spijkerboer became the next resident of the doctor's house, which had been transformed into a rectory of the Reformed Church. In 1964 the municipal authorities of Souburg bought the building to partly convert it into an office for the municipal social services and partly into a retirement home. At the end of the sixties the company Hoechst, based in Vlissingen-Oost, bought the building for the temporary housing of hired staff. From 1990 it was used for many years to accommodate foster children. Since 2004, the Bed & Breakfast “Papillon” has been located in the building.
