Ohio State Sanitarium for Tuberculosis

The Ohio State Sanitarium was recommended by the Society for Prevention of TB in 1904. Packard was chosen to design the sanitarium according to his "Cottage Plan". Mt. Vernon was chosen from over 100 sites, and construction was done by Rob't Evans and Co. on 300 acres. It is now called the Mount Vernon Developmental Center. The dedication brochure can be viewed at the Ohio History Connection OhioMemory web site. Packard also designed the Mount Logan TB Sanitarium in Chillicothe, which operated from 1918 until 1970.
