Casa de Salud de Mujeres Carolina Deursther, Historic hospital building in San José de Maipo, Chile

The two-story stone and adobe structure features wide galleries with arches, wooden balconies, and a classical park with ornamental vegetation.

Built in 1830 by Juan Deursther, the building became Chile's first tuberculosis sanatorium in 1919 through Carolina Deursther's donation to the community.

The structure incorporates European neoclassical architecture elements with local materials, including stone masonry walls and internal oak partitions.

The building contains 25 patient rooms distributed across upper floors, equipped with running water, electric lighting, and water heating systems.

The facility operated as a specialized treatment center for curable tuberculosis cases after 1929, utilizing the beneficial climate of San José de Maipo.
