Description	A view of the landscaped gardens on the grounds of the Glendale Sanitarium. A man and a woman sit on a bench under a large palm tree. Other people are seen on two benches in the distance. A path winds through the grounds. A tree with no leaves appears on the right. Pink and white flowers are planted at the base of the palm tree and in beds in the background. A mountain is visible in the far distance on the right side of the image.
Historical Background	The City of Glendale, situated at the eastern end of the San Fernando Valley and bisected by the Verdugo Mountains, is considered a suburb of the Greater Los Angeles Area. Originally, Glendale was part of one of California's better known ranchos, Rancho San Rafael, founded by Don Jose Maria Verdugo who settled the area in 1784. In 1871 the land was partitioned, the town of Glendale subsequently established in 1886, and incorporated in 1906. Glendale Adventist Medical Center, originally known as the Glendale Sanitarium, opened in 1905 in the former Glendale Hotel with 75 rooms. The building was purchased from real estate developer Leslie C. Brand. Additions were made in 1905, 1917 and 1920. By 1922, Glendale Sanitarium and Hospital had outgrown its space. A new facility costing $1.25 million was built just east of the City of Glendale and opened in 1924.
