About this work
Description
West Villa, or the Ladies’ Lodge was begun in 1880 but was not completed until 1890-1. It was situated on the end of the extension to the south west wing, and therefore on the garden or south side of the Retreat complex. The Villa became an admission ward, and the end of the Villa became a Ladies Hospital. It was later called Tuke Ward. The building had extensive verandahs added around it. Photographs are arranged in 4 parts.
