Second Townsville General Hospital
Second Townsville General Hospital, Heritage-listed former hospital in North Ward, Townsville, Australia.
The six-story concrete and brick structure features wide balconies, white-rendered walls, and symmetrical facades divided into five distinct sections.
Construction began in 1945 after World War II delays, and Premier Ned Hanlon officially opened the 270-bed medical facility on April 21, 1951.
The building represents a transition in Australian hospital design, moving from pavilion-style layouts to vertical stacking of medical functions for improved efficiency.
Located at 24 Eyre Street, the structure operated as a hospital until 2001 and has since been converted into residential apartments.
The hospital complex included specialized facilities such as a maternity ward, thoracic block, psychiatric annexes, dental clinic, and Institute of Tropical Medicine.
