Isabella Elder’s Elder Cottage Hospital on Drumoyne Road was built in 1910–12, and a contemporary nurses’ home lies opposite (figs 5.40 & 5.41; McAlpine 1997, 170–3; Williamson et al 1990, 593–4). The architecture of each has a domestic theme, and the hospital was originally intended as a maternity home. It opened as a general hospital, however, with medical and surgical beds and an operating theatre. More recently, until final closure in 1987, it was used for convalescing patients from the Southern General.
