My grandmother died in the Hanson T.B.hospital and a women that was in the hospital at the same time is still alive. In her90's How can I found more about my grandmother.

I am from the area and I can tell you this place is still standing. You can't get in though.

It's still there. This was the tuberculosis isolation hospital. They built a town admin building right near by to make it harder to get into. The fires were vandalism and the town had a really hard time getting back there to put it out.
If you can get a hold of the the official Hanson Town Book(Ya know each town has one, All the same format with history of the town and the houses) In it there is pictures of it in it's hay day.
At the time it was believed that fresh air was good for TB(In tropical climates it can be). So one of the pictures is of the patients in their dressing gowns outside, in the winter playing ring around the rosie. They had now idea they were killing them faster. There is another picture of the staff and an outside shot of the hospital itself. Many a child in our area went through the great rite of passage by sneaking in and seeing who can last the longest.

As far as Google Maps is concerned with its most recent update,the place is till standing,and still somewhat structurally intact (though the back portion of the amin building is torn down and the smaller outbuilding next to it has some fire'water damage to its roof) but the rest of the outbuildings(sans one,which is just an empty lot with an old parking lot in front of it) around the main hospital still look to be structurally sound

The design of the door lock is fascinating..

1960-ties lamp in pretty good condition, too! Fun Every Picture.

Old lamps; over twenty of them. Am in Paradise! Assemblage. The Meeting of The Lamps! They have a dimmer over the bulb. Must be so lovely when lit. They are excellent. Nobody wanted one? Strange to me. Good picture. Be well and safe!

Looks straight out of silent hill!

Yech. I remember games on 5 & 1/2 inch floppies, we still have a bunch. Even by the time of 3 & 1/2 inch disks (the palm-sized ones) if you didn't get good brand disks you regretted it!

Transferring something bigger than 1.44 MB and no network link? Had to use a program to split it into floppy-sized chunks and heaven help you if one of your disks was bad. Many things I miss about the olden computer days but floppies weren't one of them.
