The T.B. Hospital story from the link, translated:
In the solitude of the Baja California desert, peaceful among huge rocks and vigilant cardons, right on the edge of the Sierra de La
Laguna Biosphere Reserve, an imposing person who slept waiting to fulfill his function: the hospital of the "Carrizalito" a work carried out by the
then governor of the Territory of Baja California Sur, General Francisco J. Múgica (1940-1946), carried out with the purpose of serving the
inhabitants who had contracted tuberculosis, a contagious disease that struck 23% of the population of the peninsular territory.
However, the destination ran another address for this property, since for the year 1947 is when the antibiotic is discovered for the treatment of this
infection, leaving unnecessary this great health infrastructure, which never opened its doors and was delivered to abandonment , the rust occurred
between hinges, rails and gates of the time, the walls were covered in mold, wasp houses and messages from other visitors from other decades who came
to admire this building.
A silent interior deadens the senses of those who walk contemplating the corridors, trying to interpret the spaces destined for healing, today spaces
for the appreciation of a work that will remain as a vestige of the architectural past of our land.
