Galen

A view from 1939:

Galen, the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium (open daily 3:30-3:30). This plant, founded in 1912, has grown slowly until it consists of ten main buildings and six cottages. Preference is given to county charges and ex-service men, and, because of the limited facilities, they are almost the only persons admitted. More than half the patients are women. One-fifth of the men admitted are victims of silicosis.
