A Moment in Monrovia History: A 1910 view of Pottenger Sanatorium

A 1910 view of Monrovia's famous Pottenger Sanatorium, located off of North Canyon and founded by Dr. Francis Pottenger. People were treated there for tuberculosis. This is the front of a postcard from Homer to his sister Myrtle Baika, in Huntington Beach, mailed at the extravagant price of one penny. From the Kim Anderson collection. See full details here.
