 "The mountains now look down on a different scene. The old boulders and the rough pasture have disappeared, and macadamized roads, sloping grass lawns, flower beds and ornamental shrubs have taken their place. The Sanitarium has grown to be a picturesque little village. It comprises thirty-six buildings scattered over the entire hillside.... The patients' cottages are grouped around the large Administration Building, and other cottages for the heads of departments are clustered together at the south entrance, near which are the stables, barns, and the big fire-proof laundry. In addition to the patients' cottages, there are many other buildings which represent various activities: a nurses' home for the Training School, an infirmary for bed-ridden patients, a post office, a colonial brick and marble library building, a reception and medical building with offices, laboratory and x-ray department, a recreation pavilion for amusements and entertainments, a workshop building where the
patients are taught fancy leather-work, book-binding, brass work and framemaking as a recreation and as graded exercise, and a beautiful stone chapel."
