Description: | 27th August 1914.
The ward under construction is likely to be the single storey, single ward of the new Smallpox compound, which included the buildings of Killingbeck Farm on the slopes of Wykebeck Valley. This location was near to the main Killingbeck Sanitorium on Killingbeck Hill, and both were within the old Killingbeck Estate. At the same time as the Smallpox isolation ward was being built, the main hospital was being converted for the treatment of Tuberculosis in accordance with the National Health Insurance Act. It became known as Killingbeck Sanatorium.
