The Group is significant as a unified complex whose buildings are complementary due to the use of uniform materials and compatible scale. The gardens are important in the way they emphasise both the scale and character of the buildings and in particular the Moreton Bay Fig Tree is a dominant feature. As a group, the complex is significant in its relation to the adjacent street space and to the buildings that constitute the Murray St East precinct, especially in terms of scale.
The Group comprises the RPH Nurses Quarters, the RPH Administrative Quarters, the RPH Canteen building, the original hospital, gardens and Moreton Bay Fig Tree. The buildings are consistent in their use of materials 0 red brick with tiled roofs - and are of two and three storeys.
Assessment 1975 The intention of classifying this Group is to draw special attention to their interrelationship and interdependence as a very important element in the total precinct. It should be noted that this Group includes not only the buildings themselves but also the associated gardens and intervening spaces. Although the group contains at least seven distinct elements, not all are proposed to be classified or recorded individually. It is the unity of the group which is classified.
