The building for the Queen Victoria Maternity Home will be erected of rock-face freestone, with cement dressings, and dark stone up to plinth level. The frontage will be broken with broad verandahs recessed between the projecting wards. These will provide the necessary light and shade. A pleasing contrast of color will be secured by the red-tiled roof, which will well oversail the gables, and be carried down in an unbroken line over the balconies. The complete plans provide for all requirements to facilitate the work of the institution on the most approved principles. At present it is proposed to erect only portion of the building, comprising about half of the front elevation, and providing wards for ten beds, accommodation for the matron, nurses, and servants, and the complete kitchen block, dining-room, laundry, and lavatories, the estimated cost of which will be about £3,000. Mr. P. W. Dancker is the architect. ... [ILLUSTRATED]
