Trudeau Sanatorium Historic District, Reference Number 14A
Year built: pre-1941
This small wooden building, about the size of a one-car garage, is clad in metal plates of a board-and-batten style intended to fireproof it. Hidden behind the laundry building, it provided for separate -- and presumably safe -- storage of the highly flammable early X-ray films used at the Trudeau Laboratory and read by Homer Sampson. It has a pair of garage-style doors in the gable end with wired-glass windows below the painted legend: “Danger -- Inflammable Material.”
In 1993, this building was still standing, but was not shown on contemporary maps; it did appear on the 1941 insurance map, perhaps the only documentation of its existence.
