This seemingly genteel photo is proof that great things can come from humble beginnings. This is the Kaspare Cohn hospital that started operations in 1902 at 1441 Carroll Ave in Angelino Heights. The 12-bed hospital was run by Dr. Sara Vasen, one of L.A.’s first women doctors, and treated tuberculosis patients. In 1910 it moved to Boyle Heights and evolved into Cedars of Lebanon in the 1930s, which itself evolved into the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, one of L.A.’s leading hospitals.

Astonishingly, that house, which was built in 1887, is still there. Or maybe not so astonishingly. It’s on Carroll Ave, which is filled restored 1880s homes and is worth stopping off at seeing if you’re in the neighborhood outside downtown LA. These images are from 2014.
