Cashmere Sanatorium Open Air Shelter
Cashmere Sanatorium Open Air Shelter
Constructed around 1913-1915, the Cashmere Sanatorium Open Air Shelter at Coronation Reserve, 29 Major Aitken Drive, Christchurch sits on one of the remnant terraces of the Cashmere Sanatorium - the now lone shelter is representative of numerous small timber structures built to house isolating tuberculosis patients. Its current position is its third within the large hillside complex dedicated to catering for different prevention, isolation and intervention treatment needs. It provides a poignant insight into the early twentieth century response to the global disease of tuberculosis and of the relevance of isolation and fresh air health responses in our history.
