re: Clara Barton Hospital


It all gets a bit more confusing because there appears to have been a Deaconess Home on the corner of Sunset and Custer that was being turned into a hospital in 1907.

The Plot Thickens.

I just found this earlier article (from March 9, 1904) that places the Deaconess Home at the corner of Custer and Bellevue Ave.


Los Angeles Herald

I wonder which corner is the correct one. . . .. Sunset Blvd. and Custer - or - Custer and Bellevue?
(of course this is an entirely different issue from the Clara Barton / Deanconess Hospital downtown at 447 S. Olive Street)



Say Goodnight, Gracie.

A similar place for homeless young women was opened on Clay Street in same years-- per a notice in L.A. Times pages

The Deaconess Home/Hospital was at the corner of Sunset and Custer.

Excellent! Thanks Noir Noir.



Here's a curious photograph I just saw on eBay.

"VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPH SIGNS MAGNETIC HILL LONG BEACH LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA PHOTO"


eBay

So is this one of those 'Magnetic Hills' that supposedly defies gravity or just a normal street? (on a hill)


I vaguely recall watching a video of a so called 'magnetic hill' in one of the cemeteries in Los Angeles. ..Does this sound familiar to anyone or am I hallucinating?






UPDATE:

I decided to include a close-up of the buildings at the bottom of the hill.
