Estate sale find, vintage original cabinet photo of the Hollenbeck House, Los Angeles, California, circa 1910.
The Hollenbeck House charity opened in 1896 and was devoted to assisting the elderly destitute Angelinos. It was supported by the German-born philanthropist Elizabeth Hollenbeck (1827-1918). Elizabeth and her husband, John Edward (1829-1885), migrated to Southern California from Nicaragua, where they operated successful shipping lines and a hotel in the city of Greytown.
The couple arrived in Los Angeles in the spring of 1876 and John began actively buying real estate in town. He also became associated with bankers in town, becoming an official with the Commercial Bank of Los Angeles. He opened a hotel in Los Angeles, the Hollenbeck Hotel, in 1882, which became one of the most respected establishments of the period in the city.
He passed away of a stroke in 1885, but Elizabeth lived on for another 33 years, emerging as a significant donor to various charities. According to Sam Watters, writing in the Los Angeles Times, the Hollenbeck Home for the Aged housed at its opening \"...34 women and 12 men representing eight nationalities and eight faiths.... They were, as one recalled, the \'fortunate unfortunates. \' They were older than 60, residents of California and without sufficient financial support. At the home they were secure, their expenses paid for life.\"
