Description: Barracks No. 1 U.S. Veterans Administration Home,Mountain Home, Tennessee This auction is for a nice linen postcard showing the administration home for US veterans in Johnson City, Tennessee. Congressman Walter Preston Brownlow was instrumental in established the opening of the mountain home in 1903; he cited the high number of Southerners who fought for the Union in the Civil War and the fact that the Board had recently built a National Home in Virginia. In 1921, Mountain Home officially became a tuberculosis sanitarium in response to great concern about the spread of the disease, especially after the outbreaks during World War I. The facility added a tuberculosis ward for African Americans at this time and medical staff was increased to handle the increased number of patients. This post card is unposted.
