Buckland Convalescent Home, Heritage hospital in Springwood, Blue Mountains, Australia.
Buckland Convalescent Home occupies a former residence at 39 Hawkesbury Road, featuring architectural elements from the Georgian and Colonial revival periods.
The hospital opened on January 25, 1936, following Sir Thomas Buckland's initiative to establish a medical facility for female mental patients in Springwood.
The land holds Aboriginal significance with studies revealing human occupation dating back 14,000 years before European settlement introduced widespread changes.
The hospital underwent expansions between 1983 and 1992, adding new accommodation buildings while maintaining compliance with Public Hospitals Act 1929 requirements.
The property includes private parkland designed by Thomas Buckland and McPhee Smith, constructed by Kell & Rigby from 1881 to 1934.
