Remnants of Tuberculosis Hospital, Mammoth Cave, KY

Dr John Croghan ran an ill-fated tuberculosis research facility inside Mammoth Cave after purchasing the cave in 1839. I could make a big deal about the "orbs" in the doorway and surrounding this gloomy hut where TB patients may have died, but I can assure they are dust particles. I found them to be annoying as they appeared in most photos that day!
