History
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]
