Martinsville Sanitarium, Martinsville, Indiana

Description: Constructed ca. 1897, the Martinsville Mineral Springs Hotel (Martinsville Sanitarium) operated as a health resort in Martinsville, Indiana until approximately 1957. The hotel offered a therapeutic setting with healing baths and an exclusive mineral water treatment for diseases of the muscles and joints, stomach, and kidneys. Seen here is a partial view of the building with patrons relaxing on the front lawn. The right side of the negative was shattered and only pieces remain.
The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. The Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
