Rosemount Hospital

Rosemount Hospital is a medical facility in Windsor comprising multiple buildings with timber and brick structures scattered across landscaped grounds. The complex includes various structures from different building periods and currently operates mental health services and rehabilitation programs.

The site originated as a stone residence in 1855 and was converted into a military hospital during World War I with specialized open-air wards for injured soldiers. This transformation reflects the expanding medical infrastructure in Queensland during the early 1900s.

The 1927 visit by the Duke and Duchess of York to meet injured servicemen marked the hospital's recognition in Australian healthcare development.

The location is an active health facility, so visits may be restricted depending on operational needs and may require advance notice. It is helpful to check current accessibility guidelines before planning a visit.

An original brick wing from the 1880s displays the evolution of hospital design in Queensland and preserves building details from this medical expansion period. This older section offers insight into early approaches to hospital architecture in Australia.
