This is a photo of the Santa Fe Railroad Hospital which opened in Boyle Heights in 1904. In 1924 the building was razed and rebuilt. In 1937 the hospital was renamed Linda Vista. Now abandoned, it's said to be one of the most haunted places in LA.

The Moorish-style building, built on a slanted hill, has multicurved parapets, arched windows, semi-circular doorways, and a dome tower. Two sets of stairways, linked to the main road, form a y-shaped walkway leading to the main entrance. A sign above the main entrance reads: "Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital Association". Trees and palms line the road parallel to the building. The lawn in the foreground is populated with thick grass, flowers and plants.
