Other information: A Bungalow-style cure cottage. A large, central front dormer encloses two adjoining 15-foot-wide cure porches, each connected to a private bedroom through French doors. There is also a two-story cure porch across the rear of the house, and three more cure porches, two on the second floor and one on the first. The five cure porches were added about 1923.
The house was built as a single family residence on land originally part of Ensine and Julia Miller's hop farm; in 1893 Julia subdivided part of her property into 83 lots along Margaret and Marshall Streets. The 1917 Health Survey indicated one or more patients with TB.
In the 1920s and 30s, the house was owned by "Gentleman" Jim Jennings, the village police chief. Mrs. Jennings operated the house as a commercial boarding cottage for mobile TB patients, starting soon after renovations were completed in 1923. In 1935, it was registered with the T.B. Society as a private sanatorium for seven patients, at a rate of $20 or more per week for room and board.
