Waverly Hills is the name of an old sanatorium(sanitarium?) here, in Louisville. It was a convalescent facility for tuberculosis patients in the first half of the twentieth century. My mom remembers singing Christmas carols there with her school group. --They were not allowed to interact with the patients, for fear of the contagiousness of the disease, so the kids were rounded up into a "clean" room to sing into a Public Address system, that filled the halls of Waverly.
