Arequipa Sanatorium in Marin County, California
- 1911 Following the 1906 earthquake and fire, dust- and ash-filled air contributed to a tuberculosis epidemic in San Francisco. A San Francisco doctor, Philip King Brown, founded the Arequipa Sanatorium as a country retreat for urban "working girls" to recuperate from tuberculosis.
Built on a tract of land outside of Fairfax, Marin County, donated by Henry Bothin. Besides bed rest, handcraft was deemed therapeutic, and the pottery was established directed by a succession of nationally known British ceramists: Frederick Hürten Rhead, Albert Solon and Fred Wilde.
- 1915 exhibited at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco
- 1918 closed
