R.A. McLean Sites

This was originally a tuberculosis sanitarium. New Deal workers constructed a: New kitchen and dining building, ward buildings (2), children's building, doctors' and nurses' residences, improved sewage system, new water tank and incinerator. The sanitarium was purchased by the MROSD in 1983, however, and "two years later all the hospital buildings were torn down and the site is now being reclaimed by nature." - https://wikimapia.org/958734/Hassler-Health-Home-site In the 1940s, additional buildings were added to the campus with the help of New Deal funding, increasing the capacity to 260 beds.

"Built in the 1920s, the renovated hospital campus contains more than a hundred contemporary and historical public artworks. The entryway to the main building displays five murals by WPA artist Glen Wessels. The WPA inspired three contemporary mosaic murals in the lobby depicting the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. A status of Florence Nightingale by FAP sculptor David Edstrom honors the founder of professional nursing." (Guide.)
