An interesting look into the medical history of the civil war era. Suffers from a similar problem as the hearse house in that you can typically only view from the outside, the windows have been doubled up which makes the reflections from the outside really bad. Makes it tough to see inside. The audio guide built in to the building is great, readings direct from the doctor's notes done by some good choice actors.
Interesting from a historical perspective. This is a recreation of Dr. John Jay Terrell's quarantine or pest house. His innovations during the Civil War reduced deaths from disease by as much as 90%. Keep in mind that this is a room with sand on the floor, you view through a glass door from the outside.
