Originally built on land donated by the town to the state, the sanatorium was completed in 1923. 2 years later in 1925, the sanatorium patients were transferred to a seperate building on the campus of Eastern Oklahoma Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Talihina. The sanatorium was converted into the State Training School for Negro Boys at that time and remained so until 1983 when it was again converted, this time into the present day John Lilley Correctional Center, holding more than 800 inmates. | Originally built on land donated by the town to the state, the sanatorium was completed in 1923. 2 years later in 1925, the sanatorium patients were transferred to a seperate building on the campus of Eastern Oklahoma Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Talihina.
