The sleeping cottages were shingled on the outside. The inside were hard pine, with enameled walls and oak mission furniture.

The front veranda was 140-feet long and captured the sun from morning to night.

The brochure noted, "This affords a beautiful view of the valley of the Androscoggin, and here the patients spend most of their day, in the open air."
