I didn't know the Independent Order of Foresters had a Tubercular Sanatorium in Lopez Canyon. (about 25 miles north of downtown Los Angeles)



eBay

I've only been able to find bit & pieces of information.

#1..... The original site was 40 acres.
#2..... It operated from 1913 to 1952.
#3..... A model of one of the hollow tile cabins won an architecture award at the 1915 San Francisco Exposition.
#4..... The Foresters also maintained a suite of rooms for surgery patients at the Pacific Hospital in Los Angeles.


I was hoping to find some ruins up in Lopez Canyon, but without a specific address it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
