Lady Bowen Hospital, Spring Hill
Lady Bowen Hospital, Spring Hill, Former maternity hospital in Spring Hill, Australia
The Lady Bowen Hospital complex on Wickham Terrace includes the main building from 1890 and nurses' quarters added in 1923 with Victorian architectural elements.
The Queensland Lying-In Hospital opened in 1864 to address high maternal mortality rates, later relocating to this purpose-built facility in 1890.
Lady Diamantina Bowen, wife of Queensland Governor, supported the Ladies' Committee that managed healthcare services for women unable to afford midwifery care.
Following redevelopment between 2005 and 2008, the former hospital building became Diamantina House, now serving as social housing and office spaces.
The hospital introduced medical standards for childbirth in Queensland, transforming the practice from home-based care to professional institutional delivery.
