Florence Crittenton Home

I'm looking for historical photos (1960s) and/or information regarding the Florence Crittenton Home in Los Angeles. My grandparents were employed there: my grandfather as property and maintenance, and my grandmother as the RN to the unwed mothers. I use to visit them sometimes and roam the halls and grounds... basically, I was bored and some of the young girls would talk to me. If the photo I saw posted of the side view of the building is accurate, my grandparents apartment was the on the second floor and entry was the staircase on the outside of the building. The hills around the property was layered with hay-like grass and I would slide down the hills on a piece of cardboard. If this is the same property, the grass-covered stairs in the one photo led up to the property where some of the girls would go to smoke, read, chat or relax. There was a goldfish pond I would visit to watch the fish. Thanks for any information or suggestions as to where I can find more information and photos.
