Statesan Wisconsin, Wales

I'm looking for any material (photos, postcards, etc.) on the Wisconsin State Sanatorium at Wales Wisconsin (seen here in about 1954). My entire collection will eventually go to the State Historical Society. Info available upon request. Some patient info possibly available. Thanks (Scott.paschal@yahoo.com)

The sanatorium opened in the fall of 1907 and closed in the fall of 1957, whereupon it was converted to a juvenile correctional institution known as the Wales School for Boys, later named Ethan Allen School, with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Some of the original buildings are still in use today.
