The Sea View Turberculosis Hospital
The Sea View turberculosis complex was planned and built between 1905 and 1938. This is on the second floor of the women's ward of Sea View Hospital. Raymond F. Almirall designed the patterns that adorn the parapet of these buildings. Sea View was the largest and most costly municipal facility for the treatment of tuberculosis of its date in the United States. By 1961 Sea View's patients no longer needed residency, as "miraculous" new drugs, notably the antibiotic Streptomycin, allowed for a swift and inexpensive cure.
