Caulfield Convalescent Hospital

Caulfield Convalescent Hospital opened on 18 March 1918 as the new military hospital for wounded soldiers, [1]. The Caulfield Convalescent Hospital was a hospital in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield, on Kooyong Road. Funds for the hospital were raised partly by a committee lead by Mrs Morris, wife of the Mayor of Caulfield[2].

A new lawn tennis court was opened on Saturday, 19 May 1917[3]. It was known at various times as Kooyong Military Hospital, and the General Military Hospital at Caulfield. In 1948, management was assumed by the Alfred Hospital.[4]
