Abstract

The Texas Pavilion for Women Building on the campus of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS) opened in 1927. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish working men along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. It was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver. As of 2009, the Texas Pavilion was being used as part of the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
