#15 Men's West Wing, built in 1915-16.
#17 Old photo of the three open air school buildings. Note all
the windows for fresh air & sunlight.

Note on card says X was her cottage, B the bath house and P is pavilion for taking a "rest cure".

#18 Newer version of Open Air School Buildings and Athletic Field. Mailed in 1946 to Erie, Pa.
#20 Children's Playground & School
#22 Another view of the Women's Cottages with white fence & snazzy
auto added. The men's and women's camps were dismantled in the early 1950's after Units 1 and 2 were completed.
#24 Grace Chapel where I attended church services once I made
meals. Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw of Pittsburgh, who had a summer home near Cresson, gave generously to the sanatorium, particularly
in the building of the chapel.
#26 Nurse's Home built in the late 1940's.
#28 Old photo of Dining Room. In 1955 it was bigger and brighter with new dining tables and furniture.
#30 Children's House was opened in 1932. However,
the children's department was discontinued in 1950 and it became
Unit 3, a hospital building for adults.
#32 Originally the Children's Playhouse, it was remodeled into the Surgery Bulding during the 1930's. This
was right across from my ward, so I saw it every day. We all hoped we would never have to go there.
#34 The Entertainment Hall was built in 1925. It was completely
renovated in the early part of 1951.
