History

Soon after coming to Guthrie, Doctor John Williams Duke established a sanitarium for the treatment of mental and nervous diseases, known as the Duke Sanitarium, which he owned and successfully conducted until his death on October 10, 1920. In 1958 the building was purchased and became the Swansburger Chronic & Convalescent Hospital.
