FIREPROOF STRUCTURES. The buildings of the hospital group are all fireproof structures of reinforced concrete, while the nurses' residence and employees' buildings are of Class construction with all parts carefully designed to" be fire resisting. The architectural design of the group has its motive in the cathedral architecture of Mexico, being a Spanish Colonial treatment, with bold outstanding detail executed in terra cotta of warm tan color with a sparing use of color in the ornament. The plain surfaces of the buildings are of dash cementing painted slightly darker than the terra cotta. Economy of cost In the use of terra cotta has been effected by repetition of design and by concentrating terra cotta at certain focal points and leaving large areas of plain cementing.

A distinctive effect to the group has been secured in two towers flanking the main entrance. This consists of three open arches leading to the entrance lobby.
