Caption:   Hassler Health Farm (1933). A tuberculosis sanatorium was built by the City of San Francisco in 1927 on Edgewood Road, near where Highway 280 is now located. Originally called San Francisco Health Farm, the hospital was renamed Hassler Health Farm in 1931. Several buildings were added to the campus in the early 1940's as part of a WPA project. The sanatorium was closed in 1964 and converted to a hospital for the indigent. The hospital closed in 1972, and the vacant buildings were finally torn down in 1983.
