Hopetoun Private Hospital, Part of 2 - 6 Hopetoun Street - Physical Description 1
Imposing two storeyed stuccoed Italianate villa with two storeyed corner verandah terminated by a projecting hip roofed wing on the facade and by a three staged tower with pyramidal roof surmounting the entrance porch. Cast cement enrichment is representative of the period and includes intaglio work, plain quoins, sill brackets and architraves. The iron lacework is unusually finely worked and of interest in this respect. Inside, the staircase is intact though comparatively unimposing and the interwar decorative schemes have been obliterated.Hopetoun Private Hospital, Part of 2 - 6 Hopetoun Street - Physical Description 2
