This vintage postcard features the Washington Sanitorium & Hospital located in Takoma Park, Washington D.C. The image shows the exterior of the buildings, and the back includes a patient's letter to family (or friend). The letter describes how she becomes unconscious while reading. The postcard, posted in 1949, is an original linen print from the 1930s-1940s era and is a great addition to any postcard or medical history collection. The card depicts the sanitorium that once treated patients with tuberculosis, an illness that affected many Americans during that time. The building has since been converted into residential apartments, making this postcard a piece of history. It is a single unit item and an original print from the United States, making it a unique and valuable collectible for any enthusiast.
