Caldwell Sanitarium - McKinney
DR. J. A. CALDWELL PRIVATE SANITARIUM IS REFINISHED
ON INTERIOR -- HAS BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE PARK.
McKinney Daily Courier-Gazette, July 25, 1925
Extensive interior remodeling of the Dr. James A. Caldwell Sanitarium has just been completed. The work covered a period of about ten weeks. The Caldwell Sanitarium occupies a whole city block of 200x240 feet in dimensions. It is a forty-eight room, two story brick building, 66 feet wide and 148 feet long with 600 feet of broad varandas. A big basement, containing a modern heating plant and other needed storage space, also adds to the extensiveness of the building which is equipped with every modern convenience that the city affords.
The woodwork was done by the skilled hand of contractor W. L. Braswell while the painting was done by F. G. Hogge assisted by W. H. Stout, two artists with the brush. Every room in the building including reception hall, library, office, operating rooms as well as rooms for the patients and the halls have been completely made new in appearance. Every room is modernly furnished and has been made to appear much more attractive to appearance to inmates and visitors. A Frigidaire system has been ordered and will son be installed. In winter time the entire building is automatically heated by gas to whatever uniform temperature the season may require.
Dr. Caldwell was a regular medical practitioner in McKinney for several years before specializing about nineteen years ago in the treatment of cancer, tumor, goiters, and chronic diseases of women. About fourteen years ago he erected his present big two story brick sanitarium, one of the largest private sanitariums in the state in the smaller cities.
Since that time his patients have come from practically every state in the union. A number of patients have come to him for treatment from such metropolitan cities as Chicago and New York. The sanitarium is located on the north side of his block while the remainder of the block has been converted into a beautiful park on which ornamental trees, shrubbery, flowers and grass are growing. His lawn and flowers are watered by an automatic irrigation system that keeps them green and growing even in periods of drouth similar to the present one. The Caldwell Sanitarium faces two paved street -- South Tennessee and East Standifer Streets. The doctor also owns one half of the block across Standifer immediately south of his sanitarium facing on South Tennessee and Standifer Streets. On this property he has erected five modern five to seven room rent houses with sleeping porches, garages, and all city conveniences. Since he built them several years ago these choice rent houses have never been vacant and the doctor has never had to ask a tenant for his rent, neither has he ever lost a dollar of rent on any of them. This modern rent property was made so desirable that the highest class of tenants are always on the waiting list for Dr. Caldwell's houses when any of them happens to become vacant by removal of occupants to a home of his own or moving out of the city.
Dr. Caldwell's sanitarium property and adjacent private park constitute one of the show places in McKinney. The old fashioned, whole-souled southern hospitality dispensed by the doctor and his good wife are always most charming to visitors, patients, neighbors, friends and strangers who may call to visit the pre-eminently successful McKinney institution. Dr. Caldwell is a member of the Chamber of Commerce., prominent in church, fraternal and civic circles. He is universally esteemed for the liberality in purse to his charities and in promotion of every worthy enterprise which the city and county sponsors.
Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell are the parents of two children both prominent young business men locally. One of them Gilman Caldwell, is manager of the Collin County Mill & Elevator Company, president of the Old Settlers and Ex Confederates Reunion Association of Collin County, vice-president of the McKinney Chamber of Commerce and other wise prominent in city and county affairs. The other son, Roy Caldwell is a member of the C. & T. Grocery firm in partnership with J. J. Thompson. Each one of these sons is happily married and have two children each -- a son and a daughter, "Dr. Caldwell and wife, their two sons, two daughters-in-law and four beautiful little grand-children make indeed a happy family circle that fill an important part in almost every phase of McKinney life -- professionally, in business, fraternal, social and civic circles.
