Swanbourne Hospital, Heritage listed former mental hospital in Mount Claremont, Australia.
The former psychiatric facility extends across 395 acres of land, featuring preserved administrative buildings, Montgomery Hall, and several attendant blocks from 1904.
From 1904 to 1972, this institution operated as Claremont Hospital for the Insane, serving as Western Australia's primary psychiatric care center for long-term patients.
Montgomery Hall within the complex functioned as Perth's second largest theatre venue, providing entertainment and social activities for patients and staff members.
The heritage site sits on elevated terrain in the City of Nedlands, with separate sections that previously housed male and female patient wards.
During World War II, sections of the hospital transformed into military facilities, and by 1959, its treatment block became Australia's first psychiatric day hospital.
