Sunset Hospital, Former hospital and heritage site in Dalkeith, Australia
The limestone building complex consists of three main blocks with L-shaped dormitories and central facilities overlooking the Swan River at Freshwater Bay.
Built in 1906 as Claremont Old Men's Home, the institution housed up to 750 men before changing its name to Sunset Hospital in 1943.
The site reflects the evolution of Australian healthcare, from a men's residence to a full medical facility that began accepting women patients in 1965.
The twenty-two acre property maintains protected status as a State Registered Place, requiring special permits for any structural modifications or development.
The facility operated its own power generation system until the late 1920s and included 2,000 square meters of washing lines for laundry operations.
