Chapel
The following Description, Reason for Listing and Photo are sourced directly from the National Trust Register records, reproduced here for reference and accessibility.
Description
On the original drawing this is shown as though intended to be built in two stages, the first of which, the north-west half including the entrance bay, is marked as the Recreation Hall. It is assumed that this is the section completed by 1895 as part of the original suite of hospital buildings.
Architectural evidence indicates that the south-east part was erected either at the same time or very soon afterwards. The present building comprises a large auditorium with a chancel and vestry rooms at the north-west end and a proscenium stage at the south-east end.
Reason for Listing
An important social focus for the Hospital, a significant Federation period institutional complex of fine buildings and landscape. A very good example of Free Style architecture by the first Government Architect.
