Description
Oakdale Hospital is a cottage hospital designed in the style of T Alwyn Lloyd, built in 1914. It features red brick with painted freestone dressings, roughcast, and applied half-timbering, topped with slate roofs and mainly small-pane casement windows. The central part of the building has three gables, with the middle gable being narrower and slightly advanced, showcasing a half-timbered upper floor, a three-light window, and a plaque that reads "Oakdale Hospital 1914." This is situated above a stone Gothic-style entrance doorway, which has floral decorations on the arch wave moulding and hoodmould, leading to boarded double-leaf doors.
On either side of the central group, there are broader gables with roughcast upper floors and three-light windows, while the ground floors are made of brick with three-light stone mullion-and-transom windows, featuring leaded quarries in the upper lights. The roof sweeps down on both sides, incorporating large hipped dormers over a verandah supported by wooden posts, with a broad cambered-arched window at the rear and doorways on the outer returns. Below most ground floor windows, there are foundation stones that record the origins of the building. Each end of the hospital has an advanced bay with a half-timbered gable and billet-moulded barge boards over a tall canted bay window with stone mullions and transoms. There are small modern extensions at each end, and at the rear center, hipped slate roofs cover the service blocks.
Inside, the hospital retains its original layout of long bisecting corridors. The porch features wooden paneling and double-leaf doors with colored glass that incorporates Art Nouveau motifs, which are also present in the side and overlights. While many rooms have been modernized, some original features remain, including wood paneling, a wooden stair with pierced splat balusters, and some decoratively molded doors and door surrounds.
