So the rules are: The first to guess the correct location ( no need for a pic, just the name ) then they post a pic of their place of birth. It's up to the poster to add clues if they need to. It's up to the op to keep checking back to see if it was guessed correct. Here's mine. It's in Sheffield, UK.

I do hope I'm playing this right. Northern General Hospital or as it was then - City General Hospital. Mine is Lichfield.

Not much of a hint but I have always lived (and was born) on the right side of the Danube.

Reminder: I am an expat living in Thailand, not a native! I was born in the 9th largest city in the US, according to 2016 US Census Bureau estimates. This large hospital campus has grown significantly since I was born!

Bingo, krenek! In the Middle Ages when I was born, Baylor Hospital was basically just that 'X' shaped building in the middle of the complex. It has grown to include most of the buildings in my post, plus several more in other areas. I have a niece who is a neonatal nurse and a nephew who is a cardiothoracic surgeon at the medical center. They obviously have my sister's smart genes....not mine!

Well, I know I am not playing this as instructed, but here is my place of birth (I think). It took me a while to find it, and I'm not absolutely sure I am correct, but there are images on the Internet that appear to confirm my guess. It is no longer a hospital and I'm quite surprised it is still standing, given the history of the place, and the time interval that has past. No! it is not in Australia! And, Yes!, it is a Street View. [hint]

Spot On, krenek! It has had a very checkered history. The Maternity Building, Victoria Hospital.

I have no answers to offer but this is where I was born, ages ago: The building was demolished, but the hospital is still there, much larger than it was in those days. The farmland on the other side of the canal is now a built-up area. You may try reverse image search, but as a clue I can reveal that the town where I was born occupies the extreme southwest corner of the province it’s part of, and that the name of the canal, abbreviated, is HV. Good luck!
