est. 1938 - 1999
Another site that is soon to be demolished. These pics were taken in spring of 2005. This state facility was one of the first
Tuberculosis Sanitariums opened in the 1930's, was sold to a private company in the 1990's and eventually became a chronic care
facility. On the grounds you can still find some cottages, a medical building, and some staff housing.
It's funny how my little mind can run wild. I had this whole idea that these buindings were used for patient housing.
WRONG, showed these to a friend and turns out she used to live here when she went to Bentley, She had a lot of fun on
this road and did some pretty crazy - not in the mentally ill sense - shit. Anyway, my descriptions are a little more accurate
based on her first hand knowledge.
