Constructed in the early 20th century, the small stucco and red tile roof structures originally served as sleeping quarters for tuberculosis patients at Grace Lutheran Sanitarium. Today, 12 of the original 26 cottages remain, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Chris Johnson who endeavored to save them from demolition in the 1990s. In 1993, the cottages were converted to use as the Village of Hope for the Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities - now known as the Center for Hope for Child Development located at Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital. The cottages are located at the northwest corner of El Paso Street and S. Zarzamora.
