Lanterman House​​​​​​​

The day after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 struck, Dr. Roy Lanterman joined a relief mission of medical personnel from Los Angeles, sponsored by William Randolph Hearst.  Upon arrival, Dr. Lanterman immediately set up the first emergency hospital in the devastated city.  Over the next two weeks, he and his staff treated more than 2,000 patients.

 

 A scrapbook in the archives of his family home, the Lanterman House, preserves the story of his involvement in the relief effort.
