Statement of Significance

Description of Historic Place

Rose Gill Hospital is a Municipal Heritage Property located within the Village of Rabbit Lake along First Street West. The property features a two-storey, wood-frame building constructed in 1928.

Heritage Value

The heritage value of Rose Gill Hospital lies in its historical role in the healthcare of the district. The six-bed hospital was built in 1928 as a Red Cross Outpost Hospital through the fundraising efforts of local citizens and with the assistance of a sizable donation from British philanthropist, Rose Gill. The hospital was one of the first public buildings constructed in the community, underlying the importance the community put in the structure. The hospital was used for almost thirty years until a new hospital was constructed directly south of the hospital in 1958. Soon after, the Rose Gill Hospital was converted into a residence for local nurses which it remained until the hospital board closed it in 1989.
