Midwood Hospital [1] opened in 1907 as Midwood Sanitarium. It closed in the 1970s, and its building served as a private school from 1979 thru 2000. [2]
The original four-story Midwood Sanitarium wood structure was replaced and renamed in 1929, after a fire, with a fireproof building that used more of the grounds and could treat more patients. [2] It received repeat business for births, [3] and was noted for "bright and cheery colors" as "a relief from endless white walls." [2]
From 1979 to 2000 it housed St. John's Elementary School, a private school. [2]
The next use for the 19 Winthrop Street building, still continuing as of 2021, is via CAMBA, Inc., [2] a city-funded social services organization. [4]
The words 'sanatorium' and 'sanitarium' are interchangeable.
