History
The facility, which was designed by William Smith, was established as an infectious diseases hospital in 1874.[1] It was significantly expanded in 1895 and a new nurses' home was completed in 1931.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] During the 1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital and Woodend Hospital, although no fatalities resulted.[3][4]
