it aq- ' N 14'- ,,i1. Am: W FIRLAND HISTORY HE existence of Firland dates back to the day that Horace C. Henry gave to the King County Anti-Tuberculosis League a beautiful tract of land of slightly more than thirty-four acres. This tract of land is situated just north of Seattle and is ideally located for the purpose for which it was intended. During the latter part of 1910 and first part of 1911 four acres of the land were cleared and a two-hundred foot well sunk at the expense of Mr. l-lenry with the aid of the County Commissioners who had voted S4,000.00, and the City of Seattle, who had voted a 310,000.00 bond issue. Cottages were huilt and Firland opened its doors as an institution May 2, 1911, with two patients, a superintendent and one registered nurse. This institution was then known as the Henry Sanatorium and thevname later changed to Firland Sanatorium. The buildings consisted of an Administration Building and an lnhrmary. The Administration Building housed the office and living quarters of the superintendent and her staff of one nurse. The Inhrmary was a tent housing the two patients, who were accepted the day Firland opened. The staff did all the cooking, scrubbed floors, chopped Woofl, kept the hres going and at night, after a strenuous day's work, retired to their quarters in the Administration Building and went to hed on the floor, as their bedroom had not, as yet, been equipped with beds. A narrow foot path was the only connecting link hetween the institution and Richmond Highlands. Supplies were purchased in Seattle and brought to Rich- mond lilighlands on the interurhan. From there they were transported to liirland via wheelbarrow over this footpath. These conditions did not last long, however, as more patients were admitted and it hecame necessary to increase the nursing staff and employ a cook and a ENTRANCE TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 0 i,,,,,,, GI, P M 5352 s -8- -4
