Photo from the Fort Stanton archives shows patients and staff in the 1920s. The fort was built in 1855 and, after being abandoned, in 1899, the US Public Health Service acquired the Fort as a tuberculosis hospital. Selected for its healthful climate in New Mexico, it served patients between 1899 and 1953.
