Royal Park Hospital, Psychiatric hospital in Parkville, Australia.
The Royal Park Hospital consists of red brick structures with verandahs designed in Queen Anne style, located on the northwestern edge of parkland.
The facility opened in 1907 as the first psychiatric hospital in Victoria after the Lunacy Act of 1903 for patients with treatable disorders.
The hospital transformed its name from Hospital for the Insane to Mental Hospital in 1933, reflecting changes in societal perceptions of mental health.
The original buildings now form part of the Parkville Hospital Precinct and maintain medical services through the Royal Melbourne Hospital network.
Male and female patients occupied separate structures during treatment, with additional divisions between acute and recovery stage accommodations.
