Architecture, Religion and Tuberculosis in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The authors explore the architecture of the Mount Sinai Sanatorium in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts to disentangle the role of religion in the treatment of tuberculosis. In particular, they analyze the design of Mount Sinai, the jewel in the crown of Jewish philanthrophy in Montreal, in relation to that of the nearby Protestant-run Laurentian Sanatorium. While Mount Sinai offered free treatment to the poor in a stunning, Art Deco building of 1930, the Protestant hospital had by then served paying patients for more than two decades in a purposefully home-like, Tudor-revival setting. The authors show how the two hospitals differed in terms of their relationship to site, access and, most importantly, to city, knowledge, and community.
