FROM THE ARCHIVES - Chicago's Fresh Air Sanitariums for Babies - Man-Made Lincoln Park

Send us Fan MailWith Chicago air quality ranging from "Unhealthy" to "Very Unhealthy" to "Downright Unbreathable" most of this week, I thought I'd drag out this episode from the archives.During a time of tuberculosis and cholera taking a deadly toll on Chicago's children, "Fresh Air" sanitariums were built to help provide children and mothers relief from the heat, with access to food, milk, and health services. One of those buildings was built on a man-made island, and both the building and island are still in use today.Want to help support the show?
