Roundhay Hall Hospital

Roundhay Hall Hospital is a stone building with Neo-classical design located in Leeds. The structure features three bays, two stories, and prominent Corinthian columns framing the entrance, preserving the grand style of its original mansion form.

The original building was constructed between 1841 and 1842 when William Smith hired architect Samuel Sharp to build Allerton Hall. Over the 20th century it was gradually converted to medical use, beginning as a military hospital during World War I.

The building takes its name from the nearby Roundhay Park, which shaped the local area. Visitors can still see the classical design that shows how large family estates were converted into medical facilities during the 20th century.

The building is accessible from outside and clearly displays its classical architecture, especially the columns and entrance portico. The surrounding Roundhay Park area provides landmarks and is easily reached by public transport.

The facility changed purposes several times, serving as a women's hospital from 1974 to 1984. This varied history shows how medical buildings adapted to shifting healthcare needs.
