dc.description Postcard showing drawing of Trades and Workers Association, built in 1899 on N. Washington Avenue by Neil and Oscar Phelps as the Phelps Sanatorium. Later the building became the Macfadden Health Home Sanatorium (1907-09), the headquarters of C. W. Post's Trades and Workers Association, and finally it was bought by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, operating as the Battle Creek Sanitarium Annex before becoming the main Sanitarium facility in 1942. Caption on front: A VIEW OF THE MAIN BUILDING AND SURROUNDING GROUND Caption on back: ON the other side is the picture of the $400,000 building donated to the Trades and Workers Association by Mr. C. W. Post, of Battle Creek, Michigan, to be used as a Benevolent Institution for the care of widows and orphans of the deceased members of the Association. The building is fully equipped and has three hundred rooms. There are about seven acres of ground and a splendid power house. It is one of the most magnificent buildings in Southern Michigan. Detailed plans are being perfected for the proper running of this institution and will be given to the public as soon as completed. TRADES AND WORKERS ASSOCIATION, Battle Creek, Michigan en_US
