About this postcard

The photograph shows the Christian Science Benevolent Association's sanatorium at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts: a large brick Tudor Revival building with a central entrance, bay windows, dormers, and a cupola, set behind a lawn and trees. A low balustrade and steps lead to the entrance. The association operated the Chestnut Hill sanatorium for Christian Science nursing care. Its institutional scale and formal grounds reflect that purpose, and the building stands as an example of early twentieth-century sanatorium design.
