| Summary: | In this hospital Charles Fowler applied the same functional approach as he had to other public buildings, resulting in an exceptionally enlightened and radical design, which provided airy wards for the patients, a farm where they grew their own food, and a layout of wards radiating from a central service block which permitted the efficient use of staff and avoided the need to deliver meals from the kitchen by horse and cart, as was the case in some establishments of the time. |
