in all directions.
The architects Messrs Scopes and
Feustmann, were peculiarly fitted for
their task as they had both been tuber-
culosis patients and were familiar with
both European and American sanatoria.
thus adding peculiar experience to their
professional skill Their plans were
evolved as the result of their endeavor
to SECURE for the patients the same treat
ment that had been developed at the
Adirondack Cottage Sanatorium, Tru-
deau, " y, and the Reception Hospital
at Saranac Lake, n. y. by Drs. Trudeau,
Baldwin and Brown. These plans were
the subject OF much study and criticism
and were adopted only after the advice
of leading experts had been gained and
the experience of other sanatoria con
sailed. The result is triumph of beauty
and convenience and furthermore, pro-
vides for a degree of privacy for each
patient which may be found in no other
public institution.
The Sanatorium consists of an admin
istration building and two cottages con-
nected by covered and glass-enclosed
curved corridors, making total frontage
of four hundred feet. The exterior treat
ment is Colonial, of brick veneer con-
struction, with trimming of native
marble. The interior finish is natural
ash.
On the frst floor of the administration
building is the large general living-room.
1t is artistically furnished in mission
style and has fireplace. A small library,
a bedroom and bath for the inferno, ex-
animation room, laboratory and drug
room are also on this floor. On each
side OF the entrance hall is located a
patients courtroom with connecting
toilet. The business offices, directly op-
posite the living-room, are 50 situated as
to furnish quick access to both the front
entrance and service portion of the
building. The large dining hall is placed
in one-story wing extending east OF
the main building and closely connected
is the kitchen with its various serving
rooms and pantries Across the front of
the second floor is the inhrmarv, con
sisting OF eight single rooms for the
sicker patients. All beds in these rooms
can be wheeled directly onto the porches.
Besides the infrniary dning-room, a
linen store-room, bath and toilet rooms,
a suite for the nurses is on this floor.
This consists of three bedrooms, sitting
room, bathroom and private sleeping
porch. On the third floor are IL addi-
tional rooms for servants and additional
/ nurses.
