Kew Hospital
New Zealand · built 1935
Kew Hospital was a public general hospital located at Kew Road in the suburb of Kew, Invercargill, New Zealand. Officially opened in 1937 on the current Kew site, the facility was officially known as Southland Hospital and served as the primary acute care institution for the Southland region for approximately 67 years. During this time, it functioned as the hub for various medical specialties, including surgical, medical, and maternity services. Architecturally, the complex was characterised by its Neo-Georgian style, red-brick masonry, and Welsh slate roofs. The hospital was eventually superseded by the Southland Hospital, which opened on the same site in 2004. Several structures from the original 1937 complex were retained following partial demolition and are recognised as Category 1 Historic Places by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.
