This week's The Way We Were photo shows the Naperville Muncipal Band playing for tuberculosis patients at Naperville's Edward Sanatorium.
Every week we publish a historic photo highlighting a story from Naperville’s past from the history archives of Naper Settlement. The Edward Sanatorium, forerunner of Naperville’s Edward Hospital, opened its doors to tuberculosis patients on Jan. 15, 1907. In today’s photo, the Naperville Municipal Band is seen performing for patients sometime in the early 20th century. The sanatorium was located a quarter-mile south of Naperville on a 39.
The purpose of the sanatorium was, in part, to prove that tuberculosis could be successfully treated locally. Frequently, people went out west to seek treatment. Four-hundred patients were treated at Edward Sanatorium between January 1907 and January 1911, with an average stay of four months.
