"The first building was a barn-like, two-storied erection, situated near the site of the present Nurses' old Home" (p. 31). It opened on 1 June 1862 with Dr Burrell Parkerson as surgeon and Dr Silas Stedman as physician at salaries of £300 a year each. The last of these buildings was demolished in 1917
