"Built in 1930 the four story, neo-Romanesque Revival Saint Joseph's 1930 Hospital building is located at the east end of the Saint Joseph's Medical Complex. It is approximately one mile east of the Albuquerque Central Business District, just below the bluffs of the east mesa, and just across the northern boundary of the Huning Highland Historic District. The hospital was designed by W. Miles Brittelle, and has an inverted Y-shaped plan (see attached plan) with an elevator tower at the central axis. The wings of the Y face south toward Grand Avenue and have historically enclosed formal landscaping at the entry. The hospital is constructed of dark brick and light concrete, with a concrete block foundation. The facade is divided into two wings separated by an entrance bay; the wings are accentuated at the ends with similar bays. The major characteristics of each bay are the concrete and brick corbel tables, and the parapeted roof. The building is highly textured with brick and concrete details and has been only slightly altered in recent years." ( visit link)
