Attendants unloading patients at Firland Sanatorium, Seattle, November 25, 1947
Order an ImageFirland Sanatorium, Seattle’s municipal tuberculosis hospital, opened on May 2, 1911, to help combat what was at the time Seattle’s leading cause of death. Firland was located north of Seattle, on land donated by railroad magnate Horace C. Henry (1844-1928), whose son Walter had died of TB. The hospital served there until its move in 1947 to a former Naval hospital at 15th Avenue NE and 150th Street, and continued to treat TB patients until developments in antibiotics greatly reduced the number of patients and the hospital closed in 1973.
In this image attendants carry a tuberculosis patient from an ambulance into the sanatorium's new location, the former Seattle Naval Hospital at 15th Avenue NE and 150th Street.
