Building Burns at State Sanatorium for TB Patients, 1917

"One of Buildings at State Sanatorium Burned,” from The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Monday, December 17, 1917

One of the buildings at the State Sanatorium for the treatment of tubercular patients at Sanatorium, near Aberdeen, was burned to the ground Saturday night. A Lumberton man who passed there yesterday afternoon says he saw where the building had been burned but learned no particulars as to how the fire originated. The building burned was occupied by patients not confined to their beds, and so far as learned no lives were lost. It is said that the building cost $25,000.
