History

It was built in 1901 and designed in the Art Nouveau style by architects Sydney Smith & Ogg.[1][2][3] They also worked with architect Robert Joseph Haddon (1866–1929), who suggested the use of red bricks.[3]

As it says on the historical marker, the building was originally used "as a private hospital," particularly to fight tuberculosis.

It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[2]
