History
Established in 1907
The Historical San Antonio Hospital was a labor of love for Frances Mary Paul. She relocated to Southern California from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1887 after her husband Colonel James Paul was diagnosed with tuberculosis and given months to live. The warm weather provided her husband a better climate to fight tuberculosis and live a long life. Despite the turn of events for her family, Frances realized there was something missing of the area of vital healthcare. After a few local unfortunate life-threatening events in the area, Frances realized that she would bring healthcare to the area, so no one would parish due to the long commute to the nearest hospital in Los Angeles. In 1907, one year after Upland became incorporated as a city, Frances along with Dr. WIlliam Craig, founded San Antonio Hospital. This building served as the hosiptal until 1923 when the city broke ground on a new location leaving this beautiful historical site behind for generations to enjoy!

Loved this venue the minute I seen it! Loved the garden style flow it had. Fireplace looked so beautiful at night light up! The stone room with up lights is beautiful and even the out door covers patio area. Whole family loved it there. Susan and Samantha were so so great that day and made everything go so smoothly. They are so sweet and nice! Thank you so much La Villa Bella

Looks better in pictures
This was the very first venue I checked out. The ladies were nice but the place definitely needs a renovation. It looks better in pictures. If you’re looking into saving money and you have a small group, you may want to consider it. What I specifically did not like is that they charge to cover the parking area. I think they said $600 for the hedges. I think that they should figure out how to make the venue pretty without having to charge their clients. It’s not their clients’ fault that the parking area is visible and is captured in photos.
