This is the Public Health Servic Hospital otherwise known as Marine Hospital. The Marine Hospital (nothing to do with Semper Fidelis) was the Government Hospital for sick and injured sailors on commercial vessels. It started out in San Francisco on Rincon Point in the 1850s.

Good Luck on your research.
