Awhile back I happened across this exceptional photograph of a group of nurses (& two gentlemen, who might be administrators) posing on the front steps
of the Santa Fe Coast Line Hospital in Boyle Height.

As a reminder, here's how the Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital looked shortly after it was completed in 1905. (you can clearly see the three arches where the nurses posed)
"In 1900 a piece of property covering nearly four acres on the east side of Hollenbeck Park was purchased by the The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company,
to construct a full service hospital for their employees or anyone suffering an injury due to their railroad."
In this unique view, we're looking across Hollenbeck Park (I'm pretty sure this, and the preceding photograph, are new to NLA)

"This original Moorish-style hospital building designed by Charles Whittlesey, known as the Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital, was razed and rebuilt in 1924 in the current
Mission Revival Style structure. It was eventually renamed the Linda Vista Community Hospital."
After decades as "the most haunted place in Los Angeles", the hospital is being renovated into apartments.

We first visited the old Santa Fe Hospital back in the early days of NLA.
