Municpal Tuberculosis Sanitorium

My grandmother died of TB in 1936 and I am trying to locate the patient lists for the Municipal TB Sanitorium to see if this is where she was sent.
Does anyone know where they would have kept old patient records? I found one for another relative that happened to be a resident during a census period but other than that i have no idea where to start.

My only suggestions are maybe the county archives the old records for defunct hospitals or I know many of the old sanitarium buildings became Peterson Park of the Chicago Park District:

Maybe they can trace what happened to the records.

I know this was written about three years ago and I was wondering if anyone had any success with finding the records. I was thinking of writing the Chicago History Museum or the Board of Health. I had a relative who was hospitalized there in the 1920s and I would like some informtion on him.

I passed that building many times in my youth, it was not the TB Sanitarium. It was the Chicago Communicable Disease Hospital, they treated things like whooping cough, measles, and polio. TB facility was on the north side.

Wasn't there a TB hospital at 55th and County Line Rd right over the border in Hinsdale? I think Suburban Hospital is still there but they sold some of their land holdings to developers.

I was a TB patient in Winfield Sanitarium which was a small private one about a 2 hour drive from Chicago. This was in the 1950s and was a sister hospital of Michsel Reese Hospital in Chicago. There was another one in Hinsdale & still another in Forest Park. Maybe your relatives were not in Municipal? All closed by about 1960.

As referenced above, it's now part of Peterson Park (bounded by Bryn Mawr to the south, Peterson to the north, between Pulaski and Central park. It's now home to a nature center, Chicago Park District buildings and senior housing.

There was a TB Sanitorium next to Loyola Hospital and the VA Hospital on La Grange Road. I believe it was on LaGrange Rd.

Loyola and the Hines VA hospital are just south of Roosevelt and First Ave in Maywood. On that intersection is the Madden Mental Health Clinic. Don't recall a TB Sanitorium in that vicinity.
