When did you live there? My mother, Rosemary (Payne) Littrell became a patient there when I was 1 or 1 1/2 years old. She died there two months after my 3rd birthday(Oct. 1947). I would love to hear from anyone who knew her. If I ever get to MD. (I live in AR. now) I would like to stop and take a picture of the front of the adult building. Can that be seen from the road without entering the grounds? I don't want to go inside. I have pictures of my mother in her room, also of her, other patients and nurses which look like they might have been on the roof or an upper terrace (look something like the picture of the children's terrace). I also have pictures of me standing on the lawn below my mother's window. My uncle drove a taxicab and drove the family to Glen Dale most Sundays. I was not allowed to go up, so someone stayed with me and later switch places with someone else. I only remember one visit. My mother had crocheted two dogs for me and threw them out her window, which of course she shouldn't have done, but I have never shown any sign of TB. My father did have it when I was in my freshman year of high school. They believe he got thegerms from my mother, but remained dormant until he had double pneumonia. They had made big improvements in the treatment of TB and though he entered the hospital in a dying condition he did get better and was released. I can be contacted at firstalohalea@hotmail.com.
