Description
The Columbus Society for the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis , a predecessor organization to the Breathing Association , was founded by Carrie Nelson Black in 1906 . A visionary civic leader , she remained its president until her death in 1936 . One of her programs , Nightingale Cottage , was a disease prevention and convalescent home for children located on Brice Road in Columbus , Ohio . Patients were referred by the local children’s hospital , the university hospital , the district nursing association , private physicians , courts , and health agencies . Nightingale Cottage was dedicated in 1931 and demolished in 1973 . These photographic negatives show activities of the Breathing Association and its fight against tuberculosis . After the use of antibiotics began bringing the rates of tuberculin contagion under control , the focus of the Breathing Association transitioned to lung health .
