 The
expanding role of nursing and the success
of the nursing school created the need for
increased accommodation. The nurses required
private space away from the wards. The importance
of nursing to the hospital and the growing
status of nursing as a profession in society
led to the construction of the Nurses Home.
The Nurses Home was completed in 1904 to
plans by William Newlands. This stately
building had a lovely setting on the south
side of the hospital facing Lake Ontario
with a large lawn sloping down to the water.
The two storey building over a high based
basement was built of random coursed hammer-dressed
limestone. The symmetrical building is cruciform
in plan and emphasizes the straight lines
of the classical revival style.
