Episode 7 - The Way We Live
This is a story about a cough that shaped the way we lived in the 20th century.
Extras
This story caught our attention after we read through the Multiple Property Document about the history and design of apartments in Omaha on the National Register.
Read more about sanatorium design from the University of Virginia. You can find out more about Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium from the Adirondack Museum and the NYTimes archive.
Below is an example of what an apartment with sleeping porches looks like. (To learn more about this specific building, check out its National Register listing.) No one lives in this one, but there are tons of examples just like it in Omaha and Lincoln. You might even be living in one - our producer does! Let us know if you do too, and tell us if you knew what your porch was for!
