268 x 206 mm. General view from the road. The two storey building is constructed on the accepted H-shaped plan, with verandahs running along both floors to catch as much of the breeze as possible. On the façade facing Victoria Street the verandahs run between the projecting wings at either end, those on the ground floor supported by Ionic columns, those on the first floor by decorative cast-iron work. The two wings of the building terminate in pediments, in the right hand tympanum of which being the inscription 'St Vincent's Hospital established 1857'. This refers to the date of the founding of the institution (by the Sisters of Charity, as a hospital for the poor), rather than the date of the erection of the building. This building was first occupied in 1870.
