California

,

Historical Background
California
Hospital
Medical
Center
was
founded
in
1887
by
Dr
.
Walter
Lindley
and
two
other
physicians
, and was the
first
physician-owned
and
operated
hospital
in
Los
Angeles
.
It
was
originally
a
three-story
building
located
at
315
W
.
Sixth
Street
in
Los
Angeles
. On the
first
floor
of the
structure
were
offices
of
established
physicians
. On the
second
floor
there were
several
small
offices
occupied
by
younger
physicians
and a
dentist
. The
third
floor
contained
a
small
hospital
of
six
to
eight
beds
. The
physicians
in
Lindley's
building
were
affiliated
with the
University
of
Southern
California
Medical
School
.
Twenty-one
physicians
agreed
to
acquire
property
, and
erected
at
1414
S
.
Hope
Street
the
first
building
in
California
especially
invented
for
medical
purposes--a
project
that
Walter
Lindley
supervised
at
every
stage
of its
design
and
construction
. By
1927
, the
hospital's
original
buildings
were
replaced
by a
nine-story
brick
building
,
making
it
the
first
fireproof
hospital
in
Los
Angeles.ß
