The building was designed to accommodate 40-50 tuberculosis patients safely. Construction on this building began in 1908 and opened for business on July 26, 1910. There is also a link to a gofundme created by Charlie's daughter where you can read more about the situation. Originally, Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a two-story frame building with a hipped roof and half-timbering.

They have offered to drop all claims against Charlie and release the liens if Charlie would sign the building over to them, which to most sounds like extortion or blackmail. The plan seems to have been in motion for years. The board has filed liens against everything Charlie owns so that he cannot sell anything in order to raise funds for an attorney of his own. Charlie and Tina profit nothing from business conducted at WHS. All funds raised by public events go directly to the "historical society". The "historical society" leases the building from CEM Properties (Charlie's company) for the purpose of doing business as 501c3. They voted to fire Tina as Executive Director and ordered them to pack their things and leave their home on the hill. In 2020, with Tina and Charlie both facing severe medical issues, the board made their move. Over time, a core clique of devious individuals gained a majority on the board. Tina was the executive director of the "historical society". They lived on the property as a means of protecting the building, hence working around the clock. Tina and Charlie lived on the property in an apartment he had built. His work kept the building standing for the public to enjoy over the past 20 years.Ĭharlie is the rightful owner of the building. Now the "historical society" board is trying to sue Charlie for the work that he has done on HIS building. The restorations he had done were done as economically and efficiently as possible given the money raised through public events. He never took payment for any of his work on the building. Charlie has never sought tax payer dollars. These people are making ungodly salaries from a NON-PROFIT, and a portion of this historic and iconic location has been turned into an office suite for these people, taking more of the building from the public. The "historical society" is seeking tax payer dollars amounting to approximately $20 million to help pad their own pockets. How could this happen you ask? It's very complicated and unbelievable, but without your help it COULD happen. Now, the non-profit historical society, created by Charlie Mattingly, is seeking to take the building from him. Tina and Charlie Mattingly have worked tirelessly, day and night, for 20 years to clean up and restore the building with funds they raised by hosting tours, investigations, events, and an annual haunted house there.
