As a teenage I worked in the kitchen of this hospital.

The hospial was built in 1923 and closed in 1992, it was originally named the Hanson Tuberculosis Hospital, later converted to a general hospital (Plymouth County Hospital). The medical center then changed purpose once again to become a rehabilitation and pulmonary care facility and was renamed Cranberry Specialty Hospital in 1982. Due to lack of inpatients it was closed in 1992. In April 2004, a 4-alarm fire erupted in the kitchen area, damaging the rear section of the building, and has since been subject to much vandalism

Hanson Tuberculosis Hospital was built to care for people in the Plymouth County with tuberculosis. Unlike many of the other sanitariums built in Massachusetts, this one was built in a Spanish style exterior. With a red tile roof and concrete walls. As years went on and tuberculosis was cured the patients changed and so did the name, to Plymouth County Hospital, then again to Cranberry Specialty Hospital before it closed its door in 1992.
