In today’s episode, we drop in on a conversation I had this week at the Open Mic at Jack Douglass Saloon in historic Columbia about Dona Josefa Balmasada. Open Mic happens there  every Monday at 7pm. This is an ad free episode. Queens of the Mines is a product of the “Youreka! Podcast Network” and was written, produced and narrated by Andrea Anderson. Go to queensofthemines.com for the book and more. The location of the Bromley Sanitarium was at the southwest corner of Washington and Bradford streets. Based on the size of the lot, the sanitarium was not as large as photographs make it appear. The building was torn down in 1959 for Davis Motors. 

Also, I forgot I took the Tuttletown episode down, but here is Flo’s story.
