BY MARCH 1890 THE PROJECT HAD FAILED. DR. HAUGHTON MOVED TO MIDLAND. THE BUILDING BECAME A HAVEN FOR MIGRANT FAMILIES. A PORTION WAS USED AS A CHURCH.

WHEN ECTOR COUNTY WAS CREATED IN JANUARY 1891, THE SANITARIUM WAS MOVED SEVERAL BLOCKS AND BECAME THE FIRST ECTOR COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK - 1967

Here's a photo of the Sanitarium building.

Located West of the Ector County Court house; directly across the street, on North Grant facing East.

[Noting the content of the Marker; the location is faulty. My thoughts it should be further north of the Rail Road.]

This court house web page has a photo of the building with more history of the Sanitarium.
