Initially I thought this was taken during construction, but then I noticed there are vines already growing on the building,
so the building has been there awhile when this photo was taken.
Your guess is as good as mine as to why there is a huge pile of sand in front of the hospital.
Any ideas?

I believe the 'pile of sand' is sort of an optical illusion. The camera is looking up and over a slope that is part of the grounds of the hospital. Here's another nice shot of the hospital.
Santa Fe Railroad Hospital, opposite Hollenbeck Park, Boyle Heights, 1905
I think if you look through the trees you can make out the 'pile of sand' directly opposite the entrance.
