Description	A group of nurses sitting in rows on the lawn outside the California Hospital; palm trees decorate the grounds. A four-storey hospital building is visible on the right.
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. Later, 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.
