Sawtelle Veterans Home, Veterans home in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, United States.

Sawtelle Veterans Home was a care home for disabled American veterans in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, California. Formally the Pacific Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, it opened in 1888 on 713 acres. Architect Stanford White designed the original shingle-style frame barracks, and J. Lee Burton designed the 1900 shingle-style chapel and a streetcar depot. Plantings of pines, palms and eucalyptus groves transformed the treeless site.

The Pacific Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers was established by an act of Congress approved March 2, 1887, on 300 acres of Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica land donated by Senator John P. Jones and Arcadia B. de Baker. It opened in 1888 on 713 acres, with Stanford White credited for the original shingle-style barracks. A new hospital was erected in 1900 and replaced in 1927 by the James W. Wadsworth Hospital.

The community of Sawtelle grew around the branch when veterans' families and veterans drawing relief settled beside it. In 1904 the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad branch became a stop on the Balloon Route, a tourist tour by rented streetcar, and in 1905 the Westgate Subdivision was marketed as joining "the beautiful Soldier's Home".

The home closed and its functions passed to the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, so there is no veterans' residence to tour. What remains is the medical center campus at 11301 Wilshire Boulevard, where the 1927 James W. Wadsworth Hospital building and the cemetery plot added in 1890 can be seen from the grounds.

The home is thought to be where non-native fox squirrels first entered western North America; the animals later spread across the region. The Pacific Branch also drew tourists: in 1904 a Los Angeles Pacific Railroad stop there became part of the Balloon Route, a sightseeing tour run with a rented streetcar.
