A scaled-down plan
By 1940, the plans for redevelopment at Wellington had been scaled down, to the 3-wing 6 storey new Hospital shown in this architect's drawing, still to be sited in the already excavated area. This revised plan was referred to as "Blocks B, C and D", being what remained of the original larger Hospital. Click the image to view detail in a larger version. (Use scroll bars to navigate) By now the Board were committed to building a new Hospital in Lower Hutt (it opened in 1944)
