What is it supposed to be on the show?
Q.
Where is it supposed to be on the show?
A. In or near Miami, Florida.
Q.
When did we see it on the show?
A. We see this hospital flashback in Episode 10, of Season 1.
After Brian Moser ( Dexter's psychopathic brother) has been placed in
several foster homes, and each time been rejected for violent behavior,
the system finally places him In what appears to be an insane
asylum
We see the social worker Barb (whom Brian later murders), drop him off at Harbor Light Mental Hospital.
Brian apparently grows up at this asylum, and he later tells his psychiatrist that he grew up lonely, thinking of a hospital worker named Raul Martinez as the only person who cared about him.
When Brian eventually learns that Raul is stealing his medication and
selling the pills for cash, he attacks the man, and is thrown into
solitary confinement.

( Years later, Raul Martinez is murdered, shot in the head by the serial
killer the police call “The NHI Killer”, whom we later learn is none
other than the adult Brian Moser, seeking revenge.
We see Raul's corpse lying in a parking lot at Dexter's first Miami Metro crime scene. )
Q.
What is it actually in real life?
Q.
Where can I find it in real life?
A. This scene was filmed at Tichenor Orthopedic Clinic for Children, at 1660 Termino Avenue, in Long Beach, CA.
In real life, it is not a mental asylum, but rather was the first
Long Beach clinic offering free treatment for children with
physical disabilities.
Tichenor Orthopedic Clinic has been housed in this distinctive Art Deco building since 1938, but the clinic dates back to 1926.
The clinic is located right next to the Angel of Mercy Hospital, immediately south of it on the same street.
You can find their website here.
Q. How the heck did you figure out where it was?
A.
Fortunately, this was an easy one. The street number (1660) was clearly
visible on the upper-left front of the building in the scene where
young Brian arrives at the hospital, and this actually is a medical facility.
Plus, it was located right next door to the hospital where they filmed the Angel of Mercy scenes of Harry in the hospital.
