History

The Oakland County Sanatorium was built in 1927 to take care of tuberculosis patients. As increasingly effective drug treatments were found in the 1950s, the patient population dwindled. In late 1964, the buildings and property were sold to the Oakland Community College (OCC). Until its demolition in 2013 it was known as Highland Hall on OCC’s Highland Lakes campus in Waterford.

Scope and Contents note

Material is a sampling of correspondence of the Business Manager of the Sanatorium. Folders have been kept in the order and with the labeling in which they were received. They are organized chronologically and cover the years 1928-1949. They include correspondence, budgets and financial reports, and miscellaneous materials that document the management of the institution during the Great Depression and World War II. Of particular note are 1930 issues of Bugg News, the newsletter of the sanatorium, that provides a vivid glimpse into its daily life.
