Abstract/Notes Early in its existence, Los Angeles was similar to many cities at their beginnings. Residential districts surrounded “center city” with office buildings, train stations, and business districts that came to be identified with the type of commerce conducted. In Los Angeles these districts include ones for jewelry, toys, flowers, and even one for buying fabrics. Possibly unique to Los Angeles, one block of a main thoroughfare, Hill Street, was chosen by four different health professions as the site for their colleges. By the time the midpoint of the twentieth century arrived, ten different colleges had operated in this one block. Similarities in the facilities required to conduct such a curriculum may account for this concentration of schools as one school would occupy a space vacated by another. Today’s students attend colleges that operate in isolation from those of other health professions. This section of Los Angeles may be unique not only [for] the number of colleges it contained but also because of the student’s exposure to other health professions during their studies. Keywords: early-twentieth century colleges, chiropractic, medical, osteopathic, naturopathic, Los Angeles.
