The original purpose of the<unk>  was that the patient could recover by resting in solitude. The patient was supposed to stay in the<unk>  night and day, and this stay could take months or even years. The<unk> s were acquired for other purposes too, like a summerhouse or gazebo. At least the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and sexologist Havelock Ellis are known to have owned a revolving "writing<unk> ". Until the late 1940s<unk>  patients were often put in<unk> s. With the introduction of effective medication in the 1950s the<unk> s lost their original purpose and started to serve new ones. In 1982 the collection of the Netherlands Open Air Museum was expanded with a<unk> , as a gift from the National Cross Association. One of the open-air TB<unk> s of Montcalm Sanitarium in Manitou Springs, Colorado was donated to the Miramont Castle museum in 1998. Rijksmuseum Boerhaave in Leiden (The Netherlands) owns a<unk>  since 2011 and Open Air Museum Het Hoogeland in Warffum (The Netherlands) owns one since April 2016.
