Details: The Maitland Hospital was originally located in the East, it after a time got into difficulties and debt, the latter amounting to 25 pounds. There were some indications of a desire to close it, when Mr. Richard Green (who died in 1873) undertook to collect half the debt. He did so, and then rented a house in Devonshire-street, West Maitland at 6s per week, to which the patients were removed and where, with the assistance of Drs. Sloan, Liddell and Beardmore, and a committee, the institution commenced to thrive and expand. The next removal was to Hannan House, Hannan-street - a much larger place. This was occupied until it also became too small, and te building of the Maitland Hospital was decided upon. The raising of funds to meet the Government grant was a work of some magnitude, but many entered upon it with commendable zeal and success followed

Details: Extract from article on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee - The hospital originated in 1920 in the purchase of a two-storied house in Edith-street, Waratah, known as Enmore Hall for £2200. The property including 5 1/4 acres of land. Some friends of the Sisters of Mercy had seen a For Sale notice outside the building. It impressed them as a suitable site for the starting of a hospital. The suggestion was put to the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy of the Maitland Diocese (Rev. Mother Mary Magdalen), who gave it her enthusiastic approval. The then Bishop of Maitland (Rt. Rev. Dr. Dwyer) sanctioned the project, the building was bought, converted into a hospital, and placed in charge of the Sisters of Mercy, one of the main objects of the Order being the nursing of the sick. Adjacent to the property was a six roomed cottage, named Karuah. This was bought for £1200. It became the first home of the Sisters of Mercy at Waratah. An operating theatre was the only addition to Enmore Hall, although it was renovated and installed with all modern hospital equipment. The first patients were admitted on December 8, 1921, 410 beds being available. 23 in two general wards, and 17 in eight private wards. Matron Short was installed with six nun trainees to assist her. The trainees were under Matron M. Gallagher, a graduate of St. Vincent Hospital, Sydney. They were given lectures in anatomy and physiology by Dr. Gardiner in a five year course. All qualified. The six Sisters of Mercy then took charge of the hospital. On March 25. 1922, the hospital was blessed and opened by Archbishop Kelly, of Sydney. The hospital expanded with the purchase in 1926 of Glenone, a house next to the convent in Lorna-street, and adjoining property Roslyn Hall in 1927, and, in 1929 a property in Edith-street, which was subsequently demolished and is now the site of the main entrance drive to the new hospital. In 1927 Mr. W. Longworth had a Children s block built at his expense at the back of the hospital. Named the Longworth Block, it consisted of several rooms for sick children. – Note – Enmore Hall had once been the home of Colonel Charles Frederick Stokes
