Statement of Significance

A Modem World War II Memorial hospital built over 1954-57, including a nurses home and two war memorials.

It is of historical significance locally, as a development in the community life ofBacchus Marsh, funded by their donations. The nurses home demonstrates an association with Sir William Angliss, of Greystones, the well known pastoralist and meat industry leader.

Architecturally it is (at least) locally significant as a representative example of an early postwar Modem rural hospital- in relarively intact condition.

Finally it has social significance to Bacchus Marsh people as known and valued by the community and part of its sense of identity, including as its World War II Memorial.
