In 1895, the Pacific Sanitarium operated at this address in Los Angeles, one of fifteen hospitals or sanitaria listed in the Los Angeles City Directory of 1895. (SeeLos Angeles, California, City Directory, 1895, p. 1595.) Los Angeles, and Southern CA in general, became a mecca for transplants seeking to recover their health from tuberculosis and other maladies. The sunshine and dry climate was considered therapeutic for many diseases in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
