United States Court of Appeals, Pasadena Ca

In 1931 The New Vista del Arroyo Hotel opened up sporting a grand six-story addition and a beautiful bell tower. In 1943 the building was purchased by the U.S. War Department and it became the McCormack Army Hospital until it was deactivated in 1949. Circa 1981 the Vista del Arroyo was placed in the National Register of Historic Places, and became the southern seat of the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit. In 1995 it was renamed in honor of Judge Richard H. Chambers whose concept it was to bring a Federal courthouse to Pasadena. - wikipedia
