St. Helens Private Hospital, Thomas Street, Dandenong.

The best we can ascertain, is that it was likely at 24 Thomas Street. Thomas Street ended at Foster Street back then, so with the old numbering it would've been about where I've marked it in this 1953 aerial.

Sister M. Morgan retired from St. Helens in 1941.

Rae Lesley Notes:

My gr grandmother was Elizabeth Hunt, called Nurse Hunt and I knew she was matron in charge of a lying in hospital (maternity) in Dandenong 1905-at least 1915. She had a fall at the Dandenong Railway Station in 1911 and the article in trove said an ambulance took her home to Thomas street, so I was wondering if that was where her hospital was. The electoral records 1915 give no address, just that Elizabeth Hunt was a Nurse. She would have been about 70 in 1915. Thank you notices say thanks to Nurse Hunt, but no name of hospital. I will see if I can find some records for St.Helen's.
