CITY AS PROPERTY OWNER Mrs. Bowerman sold the Afternoon Lodge to the Saskatchewan Tuberculosis League, and ultimately the province owned it. The Sanatorium was built next door and the superintendent lived in the house; Dr. H.C. Boughton, 1925–1959, and Dr. Low until 1981. Various renters lived in the house but when the Sanatorium was torn down, the property, including the house, was transferred to the City. The house was eventually declared a heritage property and in 2005 the MVA took over management of the property on a longterm lease from the City. The City also owns the Marr Residence, also a heritage building, which it purchased in the 1980s in order to protect it. a stone’s throw in 1924. Dr. Harvey Crawford Boughton, first director of the San, and a pioneer of tuberculosis vaccination, moved into the house with his family in 1925 and stayed nearly 35 years. Because it was only used as a summer house, there was just a stone fireplace and a wood
cook stove in the downstairs kitchen. There had to be a way to heat it during the winter.The San was heated by institutional steam boilers, so underground pipes were laid to connect the residence and radiators were punched through the floors. Similar pipes were laid to four small houses built later
