Flooded triple patient room inside the Mont Alto Sanatorium.

The Mont Alto Sanatorium opened in 1940 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. This building began as a Children's Preventatorium and remained as such for 16 years. The building then became a home for mentally retarded women until 1965 when it housed geriatric patients until closing in 1985.
