Myron Hunt was the original architect and Hammil Construction the builder.","why_significant":"It was Upland's first and only hospital from 1907 until 1924, and local residents were born, treated or died there. It is also a rare example of early 1900s architecture using riverbed rock, designed by the prominent Southern California architect Myron Hunt. The Craig family of physicians was closely tied to its founding and operation.","narrative":"Built in 1907 at the corner of Arrow Highway and San Antonio Avenue in Upland, this two-story building of riverbed rock and stone served as the community's first hospital. Myron Hunt, a noted Southern California architect, designed it, and Hammil Construction built it. Features include a stone-faced entry portico, three gabled roofs rising from a central hipped roof, wooden balconies, French doors, and a rear ward divided by glass doors. Inside, the original green and white tile floor of the surgical room and the wooden staircase remain. Before it opened, Dr. William Craig had performed surgery on kitchen tables in patients' homes, and several Craig family members later practised there. It was the town's only hospital until a new one opened about a mile and a half away in 1924. The building later became a resort, then part of a college, and now houses offices, a bookstore and a library. It is one of few non-residential structures left from its period in Upland.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1907)","architect_builder":"Orig.
