This is the main front. I don't think I've taken it from this position before. I understand that this section is actually a church. For historic info in the notes to other shots of it, here is my album: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/album/1277734

Another one of this arresting edifice. I do rather like it and it is only a couple of minutes walk from my front door, so it appears quite often here! Now government offices.

The first free hospital in Madrid, funded by a consortium of religious foundations and designed by the famous architect, Antonio Palacios. With the builder, Joaquín Otamendi he built many iconic Madrid buildings of this era (1910-1925). Now it is government offices. It occurs to me that this was completed (1916) just in time for the virus pandemic(s) of a few years later! This is just around the corner from my flat.

Hospital de Maudes, Madrid. In fact the storm had swirled about and come and gone a couple of times that day but this third revisit turned out to be the big one. I got home just in time!

My other photos of this place have been taken from the opposite corner (which is some way away; this is a large complex!) I live around the corner, 3 minutes away.

In the next street to my flat. A large complex of buildings, originally an isolation hospital built by the Jornaleros religious organisation. Now government offices. Architects Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi. Inaugurated in 1916. To me the architecture is of an older order than that, but architecture was probably largely suspended in most of Europe due to WWI and when it resurfaced it was heavily influenced by Bauhaus. Spain was neutral in the war and blithely carried on with Victorian architectural styles. A view from another angle: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/45883442
