The
Waverly Hills Sanatorium
Waverly
Hills Sanatorium Website
In the early 20th century,
Jefferson County was severely stricken with an outbreak of tuberculosis.
There were many tuberculosis cases in Louisville at the time because
of all the swampland, which was perfect for the tuberculosis bacteria.
To try to contain the disease, a two-story wooden sanatorium was opened
which consisted of an administrative/main building and two open air
pavilions, each housing 20 patients, for the treatment of "early
cases".
On 22 Aug 1911, all tuberculosis patients from the City Hospital were
relocated to temporary quarters in tents on the grounds of Waverly Hills
pending the completion of a hospital for advanced cases.
In December of 1912 a hospital for advanced cases opened for the treatment
of another 50 patients. And in 1916 a children’s pavilion added
another 40 beds making the known “capacity” around 130 patients.
This report also mentions that the goal was to add a new building each
year to continually grow so there may have even been more beds available
than specifically listed. It is a common misconception that the hospital
made for 40 was over packed with well over 100 patients, but this is
just a miscalculation due to lack of information, with only one major
exception which is mentioned above.
Due to constant need for repairs on the wooden structures, need for
a more durable structure, as well as need for more beds so that people
wouldn’t be turned away due to lack of space, construction of
a five-story building that could hold more than 400 patients began in
March 1924. The new building opened on October 17, 1926, but after the
introduction of streptomycin in 1943, the number of tuberculosis cases
gradually lowered, until there was no longer need for such a large hospital.
The remaining patients were sent to Hazelwood Sanatorium, which was
also located in Louisville, and Waverly Hills closed in June of 1961.
The building was reopened in 1962 as Woodhaven Geriatrics Hospital;
Woodhaven was closed in 1981 allegedly due to patient abuse.
Estimates vary wildly
of how many died at Waverly. Some put the total at 63,000.

WE
ARE BACK
M.A.J.D.A.
IS BACK!!
Hello
again everyone. M.A.J.D.A. is again up and running and looking forward
to a great hunting season.
After a year hiatus dealing with personal difficulties, we have made
the decision to re-enter the Paranormal Ivestigative Community. The
MAJDA
site will be ran by John and Lisa
Cox once again. There will be no fees to join as always. We hope to
reach
out to as many people as possible to discuss paranormal topics, evaluate
photographs, and to get together for various ghost hunts throughout
the season. It's great to be back and we are looking forward to seeing/hearing
from many of our friends, as well as making new friends in the paranormal
community.
We would like to encourage all of you to contact us and we will do our
best to answer any questions you may have. Than you and we will see
you soon!
John
& Lisa Cox
