The hospital originated as a dispensary on Bampton Street in 1852. This was rebuilt in the later 19th century and further properties to the south were annexed. Wards were also added to the east. Further additions were made in 1904 and 1906 when a laundry, mortuary and the Coles Institute were erected. The brewery to the north was demolished by phases in the first half of the 20th century and by 1947 the whole site was occupied by the hospital and 57 Bampton Street was turned into nurses accommodation.
