Galavale Lodge, Tweed Road

Galavale Lodge, located on Tweed Road, was designed by John Wallace in 1895, with extensions added in 1938 to the southwest and rear, as well as a separate lodge to the northwest. This building is a symmetrical single-storey hospital with an attic, featuring a T-plan layout and nine bays. It has a central arched entrance, a verandah, and projecting canted outer bays. The 1938 extension includes a new wing, known as Hume ward, on the left (southwest) side, which has a matching canted bay, along with single-storey service wings and an L-plan block at the rear, creating an extensive irregular-plan hospital.

The glass-roofed verandah over the recessed bays on the right (the eastern section from 1895) is supported by decorative cast-iron columns and quatrefoil brackets. The building features transomed and mullioned canted windows, overhanging bell cast eaves, earlier pitched and round-arched dormers on the southeast side, and later bipartite box dormers on the left (from the 1938 southwest section). The stonework is made of rubble with rounded corners and ashlar angled corner stops, complemented by advanced smooth chamfered blonde sandstone tabbed margins and a tall projecting base course.

The windows are predominantly late 20th century 2-pane timber tilt and turn types, along with timber doors and glazed French doors with fanlights in the 1938 southwest section. The roofs are pitched and piended with slate, featuring bell cast eaves, rectangular truncated ashlar ridge stacks, and a tall shouldered stack at the rear. Integral box-profile gutters are found at the eaves, with cast-iron downpipes.

The lodge, built around 1938 and located to the north, is a two-storey, two-bay square-plan structure now used as offices. It is designed in the same style and materials as the earlier hospital, with irregular fenestration. It has a gabled bay to the right, a horizontal four-light window to the left, and a projecting external corbelled stack. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case types, and the roof is piended slate with stone skews and gablet sketputts.
