Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a massive complex of medical buildings. Unfortunately most of buildings have been demolished.
Map of Waverly Hills Sanatorium in 1954
Below is the map of the complex of Waverly Hills as it existed in 1954. The plan is aligned so that the top is the Western direction. Most of the buildings that you see on the map have been torn down. However the roads and rail road are still in place. Several buildings are now covered by the dense forest that shrunk in the past decades due to construction boom. As far as I know no one tried to carry out any archeological digs around the area. Many items might be found that can give a greater feel for the time period and daily life of the people here.
Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Hospital was served by Illinois Central Railroad that supplied 75 carloads of coal to the medical complex annually.
