Statement of Significance
York Hospital (former) is significant as a fine example of Federation Arts and Craft style designed by George Temple-Poole, Chief Government Architect. It was closely associated with the growth of York at the time of the gold boom and in the mid twentieth century as a venue for youth activities and the provision of accommodation for tourists, and as a private residence. It contributes to the community's sense of place by providing a physical and historical link with the provision of government services and development of York. It is an imposing landmark that terminates the vista of Clifford Street and makes a significant contribution to the historic townscape of York.
York Hospital (former) is part of the York Hospital Heritage Precinct that also includes the York Residency Museum. Its associations with the adjacent York Residency Museum, and the convict depot site to the south, are also significant as a precinct of Government buildings.
