HOSPITAL REPORT, 1895.
To the Chairman and Members of the Willesden Urban
District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to present my Report for the year
1895. As this is the first year that the Hospital
has been in full working order, I propose to enter
somewhat into the details of the buildings and
general arrangements.
The permanent buildings consist of seven:—1,
the porter's lodge and visitors' waiting room; 2, the
administration house; 3, 4 and 5, wards; 6, the
laundry and disinfecting chamber; 7, the stable,
coach-house for ambulances, coach-houses (separate
for two vans), the coachman's rooms over the stable
and coach-houses, and the mortuary form the seventh
block; the mortuary is at the end of the building;
the stable, coach-houses and coachman's rooms form
really a distinct portion, having been added after the
other part was finished. There are also the original
temporary iron buildings, one being available for
patients and the other used as a dormitory for night
