The Farm Annexe (later named Nithsdale and then Criffel View) was built between 1898 and 1899 to house male patients who worked at the Farm. It was the first building to be completed in the plan to move towards a segregate system, with several buildings for different types of patients, and the hospital split into three departments. The Farm Annexe was completed and occupied in October 1899.
