Briggs Sanitorium

Briggs Sanitorium

Briggs Sanitorium is a former sanitorium (also listed as Briggs' Sanitarium) developed in 1896 by Dr. J.R. Briggs, and located at the corner of Jefferson and Tyler streets, in Oak Cliff, Texas. Noted as the first hospital built in Oak Cliff, it included five wings, containing fifty-two rooms. The building burned down in a devastating fire, which started in the sanitarium's laboratory, and continued on to ravage fourteen city blocks on April 4, 1909.
