I'm very familiar with this complex, more recently known as the Linda Vista Hospital. After it closed in the 1990s, it was used for rentals/film shoots until being converted into senior housing a few years ago. In the interim, I was involved with a man who wanted to develop it into market-rate lofts.
It's an interesting complex of several buildings, and some unique spaces inside (and yes, some were creepy). But there was no cylindrical fire escape slide that I ever saw. Unless it was installed inside the old smokestack from the on-site incinerator!
