Spanish baroque

What could this be?  A California mission?  A college campus?  An hotel?  Nope.  This is Highland Hospital, the county hospital and trauma center.  This building dates from 1927 when the original hospital opened.  The hospital sits on a 16-acre hilly lot just off the 580 freeway.  Although many of the original structures remain, a vast, modern complex was opened on site in 2004.
