About Redevelopment of General Hospital
Los Angeles, CA
The 1930s-era Los Angeles County General Hospital that rises 19 stories above the northern edge of Boyle Heights has sat largely unused since 2008.
Completed in 1933, the Art Deco buildings were featured in exterior shots and the opening sequence of the long-running ABC soap opera General Hospital. The hospital features interior murals by Hugo Ballin, whose work also appears in the Central Library and the Los Angeles Times building in Downtown LA’s Civic Center.
