    INFECTED HOUSES & SANITIZED SPACES: ARCHITECTURE, ADAPTIVE REUSE, & TOURISM OF THE EARLY 20th CENTURY TUBERCULAR ERA By Jenna D. Stout A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Department of History Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Doctoral Committee Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Mary S. Hoffschwelle Dr. C. Brendan Martin Dr. Lisa J. Pruitt ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in tuberculosis architecture originated back in my home state of North Carolina where archival photographs of Asheville’s sanatoria inspired my investigation into the TB built environment. A public history internship at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial in Spring 2012 solidified my fascination with tuberculosis health tourism history and led me down the path to the MTSU Public History PhD Program. This dissertation would have been impossible without the support of a network of family, friends, and colleagues. Over the course of the past four years, Rachel Lewis and Kayla Pressley Seay have been a great source of friendship and cohort support. My doctoral committee members, Drs. Carroll Van West, Mary Hoffschwelle, Brendan Martin, and Lisa Pruitt, gave their time, guidance, and academic expertise to help bring this dissertation from an idea to a polished product. The MTSU Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) provided me with a built-in community of wonderful colleagues from my first days in Murfreesboro. Through the generous support of the CHP, I was able to spend my residency year researching sanatoria architecture and history at the Kentucky Heritage Council. Finally, I must thank three individuals particularly close to my heart.

McCleaf February 21, 2020 State of Maryland House Ways and Means Committee HB0862: “Historic Revitalization Tax Credit – Transferability, Funding, and Extension (Historic Revitalization Tax Credit Improvement Act of 2020)” Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and members of the committee. My name is Steven McCleaf of Langley Realty Partners, LLC and I am here representing Warfield Companies, the owner and developer of “Warfield at Historic Sykesville” in Sykesville, formerly known as the Warfield Complex. Warfield was part of Springfield Hospital Center, which opened as a state mental health facility in 1896. Although Springfield Hospital Center remains in operation today, much of the hospital’s real property was offered as surplus in the mid-1990’s. Ultimately, a large part of the hospital’s surplus property was transferred to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services for a training center and a smaller portion—the Warfield Complex— was sold to the Town of Sykesville in 2001. The property became subject to a Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) preservation easement at the time of transfer. In June 2018, Warfield Companies purchased the Warfield Complex, including 14 historic structures with a total gross building area of about 183,000 square feet and situated on approximately 18 acres, plus approximately 31 acres of additional developable land. Warfield is one of many larger scale properties either currently or formerly owned by the State of Maryland (which state law mandates must be preserved) that are not economically viable for rehabilitation and adaptive reuse in the current environment without a robust historic revitalization tax credit program.

McCleaf February 18, 2020 State of Maryland Senate Budget and Tax Committee SB0978: “Historic Revitalization Tax Credit – Transferability, Funding, and Extension (Historic Revitalization Tax Credit Improvement Act of 2020)” Members of the Committee: Good morning. My name is Steven McCleaf of Langley Realty Partners, LLC and I am here representing Warfield Companies, the owner and developer of “Warfield at Historic Sykesville” in Sykesville. You may know the property by its old name: “The Warfield Complex”. Warfield was part of Springfield Hospital Center, which opened as a state mental health facility in 1896. Although Springfield Hospital Center remains in operation today, much of the hospital’s real property was offered as surplus in the mid-1990’s. Ultimately, a large part of the hospital’s surplus property was transferred to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services for a training center and a smaller portion— known as the Warfield Complex— was sold to the Town of Sykesville in 2001.

Warfield is one of many larger scale properties either currently or formerly owned by the State of Maryland (which state law mandates must be preserved) that are not economically viable for rehabilitation and adaptive reuse in the current environment-- even assuming full eligibility and funding of state and federal historic tax credits.
