In additional to caring for Tuberculosis patients, the home provided general medical hospital care including surgery, coronary care and dialysis treatment. Later, those beds were converted to nursing care beds for the elderly. The grounds eventually grew to hold a 2-story limestone administration building, and several wood framed, cottage-like buildings trimmed in white. Nearby were ample pastures of wild flowers, groves of Elm and Oak, and a large pasture for grazing Buffalo.
