Wadsworth Chapel , also known as the Catholic-Protestant Chapels , is actually two separate chapels under one roof on the campus of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in West Los Angeles , California . The structure was built in 1900 and was closed in 1971 after being damaged in the 1971 Sylmar earthquake . It is the oldest building on Wilshire Boulevard and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 . The structure has fallen into a state of disrepair due to the lack of funds within the Dept. of Veterans Affairs to pay for the required repairs and renovation
