Guilford County Selects Site for Tuberculosis Hospital
The Guilford county tuberculosis hospital, funded by a $100,000 bond issue, will be built on the high ground of the old Millis plantation one mile east of Jamestown. The county acquired 63 acres along the Greensboro High Point highway, with 20 acres south and 43 acres north of the road. The board, chaired by J W Cone, may buy 40 more acres to locate buildings on the high hill, though this depends on securing the land and could alter plans.
