History[edit]

A private sanitarium originally established circa 1906 in East Nashville by Drs. Hayden and Brown, for the treatment of alcohol and drug additions and diseases of the nervous system. Circa 1907 the sanitarium moved to 1400 Broadway. n 1909, Dr. M. R. Farrar, of North Carolina, purchased the interest of Dr. Hayden and the sanitarium was renamed Farrar and Brown Sanitarium. In 1910, still located at 1400 Broadway, Farrar and Brown dissolved the partnership. It was stated that Dr. Brown would take over the entire business and continue as before. A notice in the Tennessean announced a name change to Cumberland Sanitarium, with Dr. Brown named as medical director. There did not seem to be any connection to Cumberland Sanitarium in Lebanon, Tennessee. After 1911, Cumberland Sanitarium and Dr. Daniel Brown, disappear from Nashville.

By 1916, Cumberland Sanitarium and Dr. Daniel R. Brown are in business, once again. He has opened his sanitarium at 692 Alabama in Memphis. The former home of James Sanitarium, which had relocated. Memphis city directories show the sanitarium was in operation from 1916 to 1921, when Cumberland appears to have closed for good.
