The Sanatorium was built in 1910 and was to provide hospital care for up to 50 people suffering from tuberculosis. Before the hospital building was complete, people suffering from advanced cases of tuberculosis were sent to the hospital grounds and put up in tents until the hospital was done. By 1916, the hospital could house 130 people. In 1926, the hospital was five stories high to house even more people until a cure was found for tuberculosis, which resulted in the sanatorium closing in 1943.
