Greenwell Springs Hotel/Hospital/TB Sanitarium? Old family history?

Anyone with info or a link to it? Does it still stand? A family member had TB 1949-1952ish. Spent a year there. This was of course back in the sanitorium days.
The info I find on it is spotty and websites are junk sites. Links to nowhere or paid sites.
Took 30 minutes to realize I am a dipshit and this site probably has a guy who knows it all about the place or has pics?

It's on Greenwell Springs Road. Cross Magnolia Beach Road, and it's on the right a few miles down.
When you pass Hooper Road, you're right there.

There's still a greenwell springs hospital but it closed down as a mental health facility a couple year ago. I think it's just vacan now

They're going to tear it down. There are plans to build something else there.

This reply is outdated as I just read your response. I viewed Greenwell Springs sanitarium 2 decades ago, after it had been a T.B. Sanitorium from 1930's to 1960's. It was located on Greenwell Springs Rd in Denham Springs. Interesting fact that my mother was a T.B. patient there from 1949 to 1951, the same time as your relative. They may have been acquainted.
Property appears to now be under construction as a new high school needed in Central, LA.

That place was always creepy looking. I remember seeing the "do not pick up hitchhikers" signs on the way to Holiday Acres as a kid.

I used to live directly across from it. We actually bought the acerage from the Heart and lung Association.
It’s tore down now and supposedly it’s going to be a park.

Pops19 used to tell my Mom "Duck, Mamma!" as we drove past.
He did the same thing whenever we were in Jackson, too...

Have family right down the road from there. Great uncle used to freak us out with "escaped crazies" stories when we were younger.
Was a lot creepier before they cleared out those old outlier buildings from the roadside

My grandfather worked maintenance there in the 50's to the 70's.
