The Old Glenn Dale Hospital was owned and operated by the D.C. Government until at least the late 1970's. Toward the end it was more of a convalesence home of sorts. It was closed down during the Berry Administration and some years later sold to either Prince George's County or Maryland State. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 3:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WashingtonDC'' ] TB Hospital in Washington DC There used to be a TB hospital on Glenn Dale Road in Glenn Dale, Prince George's County, MD, which is not far from Washington, DC.

You bet. Been there and done that!

Emaress Nova, Thank you - This seems to be an on going problem with research. People just don't care to know, it's only the ones who are serious about researching. Do you know if there would be a Family History Center in D.C. ? If MLK library doesn't know or have any information, then maybe an FHC might. Again, ya never know til you try. I never give up - you would be surprised at the places you would least expect to have information, actually do. Thank you for inquiring and having a nice chat with a very nice lady.

Many thanks to all who have replied to my query about the TB hospital in D.C. Still not exactly sure if the hospital my grandfather was in (931M) is the same as the Selby hospital. I have been searching on google.com., but so far now answers. Thanks to All ! Leta

There used to be a TB hospital on Glenn Dale Road in Glenn Dale, Prince George's County, MD, which is not far from Washington, DC. I know it's been closed for many, many years but remember in being open in my lifetime. I think that people from Washington, DC, might have been sent there for treatement. My husband said he believes it was originally called Glenn Dale Sanitarium but the name was changed, possiblly to Washington Sanitarium.

Leta, Im not aware of a Family History Center in DC, but know there is one in Annandale, VA - that's just outside of DC in Fairfax County. The National Archives has some things, so you might try there - and the Library of Congress too. DC is full of places that we are not aware of - but you never know what you will find. Sometimes even your congressional office might come up with information - specially since they have first dibs on Library of Congress. --- Leta Sheaffer <[email protected]> wrote: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I wonder if Sibley was the name of the TB hospital in 1917. The address given on his death certificate was 93 M St., N. W., Washington, D.C. I did go to mapquest and found the address of 93M, but maybe it was changed after 1917 to 1140 N. Capital St. Hum ?

Wasn't Sibley a private hospital owned by a prominent DC family I forgot the name. then it was bought by a corporation. I think I remember something about that. the hospital sat on a slight rise and had a driveway that ran from one side to the other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leta Sheaffer" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Sibley Hospital >I wonder if Sibley was the name of the TB hospital in 1917.
