Madison Sanitarium

The Madison Sanitarium on Lakeside Street at Lake Monona, not to be confused with the Lakeside Sanitarium, which was located farther east along the south shore of the lake. The Lakeside Sanitarium was a popular resort; it burned in the 1870s and was never rebuilt. The Madison Sanitarium, a legitimate hospital and nursing home, opened in 1903 as a branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan.
