Victoria Maternity Hospital, Hyderabad

Hyderabad, India · built 1907

Victoria Maternity Hospital, also known as Victoria Zenana Hospital, was the second biggest hospital in Hyderabad, India, after Afzalgunj Hospital. It no longer exists, and was converted into a block of Telangana High Court to house fire engines. The hospital has been shifted to a new location and today this building is called H-block of the High Court. The building was previously categorised as a Heritage Building as per HUDA regulations and in 2010 was delisted from the list of Heritage building so as to be demolished and to be converted into a multi-level car park for the employees of High Court and visitors. The government order to demolish was issued in April 2019 and the High Court proposed that work be taken up in May during the summer vacations. The hospital premises also contains a fountain known as "Dog Fountain" from the Qutub Shahi era which is also set to be demolished. On 16 May 2019, based on an appeal by heritage activists, the order to demolish the Zenana building was stayed by High Court.
