Yes,
Godzilla, Westside Hospital occupied the Green Spray building. As I recall, the hospital laboratories were in that space.
I was at that hospital a couple of times in the mid-eighties - certainly nothing remarkable about it then. Nursing home clientele, no Marilyn, typical community hospital of its time.
Here is a Bing bird's-eye view of the place, and you can see by comparing the roof in the 1930s views, it's the same building today.
