Scope and content
This was the Administration Building at the Pierce County Sanatorium as viewed in March of 1934. Photographer Marvin Boland took a series of pictures of the hospital complex one day that month. The sanatorium, also known as the Lakeview Sanitarium, provided care for tuberculosis patients in the county. Adults and children had separate wards. The sprawling campus included treatment facilities, residential housing and even a separate maids quarters set aside for live-in housekeeping help. Mountain View Sanatorium in Tacoma replaced the Lakewood county facility in 1952. Three years later in 1955 the old hospital campus was purchased by McChord AFB. G30.1-023
