I've looked in vain for photographs of Methodist Hospital at 2826 S Hope Street... anyone? After Methodist moved to Arcadia in the 50s, the building lasted until the mid-to-late-70s as part of the L.A. County health system. A post-70s building is on the site today, one with a similar setback. Needless to say, the "Grounds Like [a] Beautiful Natural Park" are given over to parking. The four-story nurses' dorm across Hope is also gone for a parking lot. In an aerial Googling, there seems to be no sign of the tunnel mentioned in the second article ...ok, ok, I know it's a tunnel, but I thought, was hoping, to find some vents or doors or some other tell-tale sign. Btw, Mayor Henry T. Hazard's house on the lot served as the first home of Methodist Hospital.

Would you settle for a small, undated postcard?
