The Boston Consumptives Hospital (Boston Sanatorium) is a historic
Maginnis and Walsh.[2][3] The complex was the largest tuberculosis hospital in the state, built in response to reports that the disease was responsible for more deaths than any other in the city. The facility was used for the treatment of tuberculosis through the middle of the 20th century, and then stood largely vacant until 2002, when plans were laid to rehabilitate the property for other uses.[4]
The hospital site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
