Summary

[General description] This large iron-roofed two storey house is viewed from the sweep of its drive with semi-formal gardens including palms and roses. It is built from brick with cement dressings and is surrounded by extensive verandahs with iron lace decoration with an outside staircase. Doctor Helen Mayo founded the St. Peter's Hospital for babies in Winchester Street, St. Peter's in 1913. She still retained a strong presence at the hospital after 1917 when it was taken over by the government and moved to this building at Belmore Terrace, Woodville where is was known as Mareeba Babies' Hospital. It was previously a convalescent hospital for soldiers. [On back of photograph] 'Reproduced in the Advertiser / Mareeba Babies Hospital / Woodville Park / 1928'.
