| Ovens & Murray Hospital Facade | |||
The
Ovens District Hospital was for many years the only hospital
between Melbourne
and Goulburn NSW. The initial building was completed in 1857 at
a cost of 2,347 pounds. There were further additions between 1858
and 1890. In 1890 the isolation ward known as 'Little Canada' was
built, named after a Canadian miner who lived in a nearby cabin.
The hospital was demolished in 1940 when the new Beechworth Hospital
on Sydney road was built. In 2005, the Sydney Road hospital was
further upgraded. Due to the shortage of building materials during
WWII all salvageable building materials from the Ovens & Murray
Hospital were re-used for public works within Beechworth.
