Casa de Rosas, 950 W. Adams
"Casa de Rosas, also known as the Froebel Institute and the Sunshine Mission, is a historic building in the West Adams district of Los Angeles. The building was designed by Sumner P. Hunt and built in 1893. It was originally an experimental kindergarten and has also been used over the years as a prestigious college preparatory school for girls, an inn and restaurant, a military barracks in World War II, the headquarters of L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics Foundation, and a shelter for homeless women."
Quite a history. |
GW also had a follow up post here, with a fine photograph from

I just came across two additional photographs of the Froebel Institute that haven't been seen on NLA. (probably because it's misspelled as 'Frobel' at nhm.org)

And this is my favorite....a look
inside the Froebel courtyard.

The fancy chimney appears to be missing today.
