Description

Another ward block completed in 1900, this one matched Ward 4 in general appearance. Its main roofs are slate, while the centre bay has been reroofed in corrugated iron. An assertive first-floor link connects it to Ward 17, and the airing court verandah has been partly enclosed.

Reason for Listing

Part of a significant Federation period institutional complex of fine buildings and landscape. An outstanding example of Free Style architecture by the first Government Architect.
