BENSONHURST SANITARIUM

The International Sunshine Society Branch for the
Blind has leased the old Cropsey Mansion, Cropsey 
ave. foot of Bay 33d st. on terms made easy by Harmon
Cropsey, who is president of the Bensonhurst Sanitarium.

This property runs down to Gravesend Bay.

The house is 100 years old, has 19 rooms. The home will have
electric elevators and a solarium, making an artifical 
steamheat and full sunshine winter roof garden possible. 

There will also be a well equipped operating room and the
'Bensonhurst' people are raising an emergency fund to
supply ambulance service. The reception Hospital at Coney
Island is not in shape to give quick treatment to a victim
of a major accident of Bath Beach section, and that the trip
to Norwegian Hopital is a long one.

The rest home is not a charity.
