Q.: Wasn't There Once a Tuberculosis Hospital in Kansas City?
-
Description
-
The Leeds Tuberulosis hospital was 57 years old when it was razed in 1971. The building was atop a hill southeast of Interstate 435 and Interstate 70 on more than 11 acres of land. At its height the hospital contained 250 beds, many of which were occupied by children. In 1964, with tuberculosis cases on the rise in Kansas City, the patients of the Leeds hospital were moved to the old Research hospital building after its renovation was completed in June. With this move doctors were hoping to more effectively control tuberculosis problems.The city abandoned the old hospital building that summer, and soon afterward it was heavily damaged by vandals. The building sat vacant and deteriorating until it was demolished.
