In the early 1900s, people came to Denver to “chase the cure” to seek a remedy for tuberculosis, the leading cause of death in the United States at that time. Colorado, with its dry and sunny climate, drew tuberculosis victims like a magnet and soon earned the nickname of “The World’s Sanatorium.” This house is an example of a cottage that those looking for a cure would have stayed in. 26 South Osceola Street, Denver, CO 80219Physical Description1 photographic print : colorBorn-Digital or AnalogBorn-digitalSubjectSanatoriums--Colorado--DenverGeographic AreaBarnum (Denver, Colo.)CollectionBarnum NeighborhoodType of MaterialColor photographs
