 Overview
 Description
there is the main building which is a long hall with rooms on either side. you could get into the attic, but thats gone now. the basement is still in great condition. On the west side of the building there is a set of nice concrete stair cases that lead up to the front door. down the road there are several out buildings. so far i know of two made of wood and one of concrete. I'm not sure if it wsa ever part of the complex are more ruins about a mile back into the hills.

     History
    The main building was the first wing to olvie view hospital, now serving sylmar. It was a tuberculosis center in the hills above the olive groves of the san fernando valley. Much of olive view hospital was destroyed in the earthquake in 71, and by that time this building was only a small part of the complex. Because a park was in the area the building became a hang out for the gangs around the neighborhood. Then someone burned it down. It's still a cool ruin, but it was much more.
