The Los Angeles Orphanage in Boyle Heights was the only Catholic orphanage in the city. It welcomed all children regardless of race or religion.

The year was 1950.

What an amazing building. I assume it’s long gone, yes?

The year was 1950?

Looks more like 1915. But still a very interesting story and photo.
