This was the center to house tuberculosis patient and now it will be a hotel when finished. If you like history, this website on the Sanatorium is very interesting. There are some work in progress pictures as well as some historical pictures on the site. It was closed in 1961 when antibiotics were invented.
Rumors have it that the place is haunted as well....BD
Waverly functioned as a tuberculosis hospital until 1961, when it was closed down to be quarantined and renovated to be opened again in 1962 as WoodHaven Medical Services. The facility remained a geriatrics center until 1980, when it was closed by the state for alleged patient abuse.
It's already happening in Massachusetts and New York, now the next state to turn a former mental health facility into quality real estate is Kentucky. The creepy Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville will become a 78-room boutique hotel with a spa, fitness center and meeting space for business groups. The historic landmark, which once housed tuberculosis patients is reputedly haunted and has been on a variety of televisions shows as one of the most haunted places in the U.S
