Here are some from the 1933 Directory of American Hospitals. Cresson State Sanitorium Cresson, Cambria County Specialized hospital for all stages of pulmonary tuberculosis Separate building for children Services free, a state institution Opened 1912 Average number of patients 721. Hamburg State Sanitorium for Tuberculosis All stages of pulmonary tuberculosis Patients 534 County Institution Monaca, Beaver County Beaver County Sanatorium For all stages of pulmonary tuberculosis 63 bed Please note at this time (1931) it was a county facility. Later it became Woodville State Hospital Woodville, Allegheny County Allegheny County Home and Hospital for Insane You're right, it was called the Allegheny County Home and Hospital for Insane. I don't know how I missed it since that is where I did my psychiatric nursing work for 3 months. Should have added the following about Woodville. Opened in 1853 2,778 beds Cared for mental diseases, tuberculosis, and the aged of Allegheny County. These are the ones in the 1933 directory. There may have been more prior. I'm on vacation and will try to check another source when I get back to the library.
