Old York Hospital, Heritage hospital in York, Western Australia
The Old York Hospital stands as a two-story brick structure with timber shingle roofing, featuring multiple wings and Federation Arts and Crafts architectural elements.
Built in 1896 for £2,267, this medical facility replaced an earlier hospital from the York Convict Hiring Depot that served only male patients since 1852.
The first matron, Mary Ann Nicholas, managed a staff of four members, treating 65 patients during the initial year of operation in challenging frontier conditions.
The hospital complex includes additional structures such as the former morgue, laundry from 1942, nurses quarters from 1925, and maternity block from 1941.
The hospital treated numerous men from Eastern Goldfields who suffered from typhoid fever, dysentery, and scurvy due to harsh mining conditions.
