Dr. John Harvey Kellogg became director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in 1876. Under his leadership, the "San" grew into a leading health resort with treatment programs focused on vegetarianism, hydrotherapy, exercise, and fresh air. The facility survived a 1902 fire, but it couldn't endure the decline in its well-to-do clientele begun by the Great Depression.
