National Vaudeville Artist Lodge is a historic tuberculosis sanatorium located at Saranac Lake in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1928 by the National Vaudeville Artists association, who previously sent patients to the Kennedy Cottage and other Cure Cottages around Saranac Lake. After the death of R.J. O'Donnell in 1959, former partner Karl Hoblitzelle dedicated a new wing of the hospital as the O'Donnell Research Laboratory. In its day, the facility provided healthcare free of charge to those that worked in the entertainment and amusement industry
