Vintage Mt. Ecclesia Sanitarium Oceanside California Fold-Out Brochure
Original vintage promotional brochure for the Mt. Ecclesia Sanitarium in Oceanside, California.
Mt. Ecclesia was associated with the Rosicrucian Fellowship, and its sanitarium opened in 1938. This unusual fold-out brochure provides a fascinating look at the historic facility and its accommodations.
The front features an illustrated view of the Mt. Ecclesia Sanitarium with palm trees and the wording:
“The New Mt. Ecclesia Sanitarium”
Oceanside, California
“On the Highway to the Stars”
When fully opened, the brochure contains numerous period photographs of the facility, including:
• Dining room
• Single guest room
• Double guest room
• Recreation room
• Reading room
• Steam bath
• Women\'s hydrotherapy area
• Kitchen
• Guest accommodations
The brochure describes Mt. Ecclesia Sanitarium as a non-profit, non-sectarian institution and discusses accommodations for chronically ill, convalescent, post-operative, nervous and aged patients, as well as guest-patients seeking rest and relaxation.
A fascinating piece of Southern California medical, Rosicrucian, Oceanside and institutional history.
