William Shepard Sanitarium, photograph

Description

About 1853, the Water Cure and Medical Infirmary was established in Montgomery Township, Franklin County, Ohio, by Dr. William Shepard. This institution was originally designed exclusively for the reception and treatment of nervous disorders in females. The surrounding community became known as Shepard Station or simply Shepard. The Infirmary was locally knows as Shepard’s Sanitarium. The McMillen Sanitarium was started in 1894 by Doctors Bishop McMillen and William Shepard as an expansion of the Shepard Sanitarium, but it became a separate institution in 1902. Dr. Shepard died on May 16, 1914 and his Sanitarium closed in 1918. The facility served as the Big Brothers and Sisters Home from 1919 to 1952, becoming the Columbus Children's Psychiatric Center from 1953 to 1973. The last agency in the building was the Uhuru Drug Center. The building was destroyed by a fire in early October, 1981. The Shepard Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library opened on the site on June 14, 1985.
