Summary

[General description] Seen partially obscured behind trees and foliage of the Hospital gardens, the Bice Building has been recently completed as builder's equipment and piles of timber, possibly from scaffolding, are stacked nearby. A four storey brick building, it was designed in 1923 by architect George Gavin Lawson. It was named after Sir John George Bice, South Australian Chief Secretary, appointed K.C.M.G. in 1923 and who died that year. He was a popular politician with a strong interest in hospitals and in improving facilities and working conditions at the Adelaide Hospital. [On back of photograph] 'Reproduced in the Mail, July 31, 1926 / Bice Building, Adelaide Hospital'.
