Valmora Historic District
Inscription
This site was probably named Valmora by Ashley Pond, Jr. , who operated a school for boys here from 1900 to 1904. The Valmora Ranch Sanatorium was established by Dr. William T. Brown in 1905. For decades it served as a residential sanatorium dedicated to the treatment of tuberculosis patients. Dr. Carl Gellenthien, a nationally recognized pulmonary specialist, served as Medical Director for the sanatorium from 1927 until his death in 1989.
