The old Tulare County hospital

California · USA · Hospital

The basement is used by maintenance now, and a tunnel runs out of what used to be the physiotherapy department.

These buildings at Tulare, California were the county general hospital. They now house a public and mental health clinic, with services on the upper floor.

The basement is used by the maintenance department, and there is a tunnel running out of what was once the physiotherapy department.

That is where the accounts concentrate.

Hospital tunnels of this era served a practical purpose. They carried steam, laundry and supplies between buildings, and they carried the dead from the wards to the mortuary out of sight of patients and visitors. A county hospital is where the poor of the whole county died.

The maintenance staff are the people who spend time down there now, and they are the ones with the accounts.

The clinic is a working public health facility and the basement is not open to visitors.
