History

The hospital, which was designed by Brown & Watt, opened as the Old Mill Poorhouse and Infirmary in May 1907.[1] It became a military hospital during the First World War.[1] The hospital was taken over by Aberdeen Town Council and reopened as Woodend Municipal Hospital in October 1927.[1] A special block was erected for the treatment of non-pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia and similar cases.[2] A new nurses' home was added in 1936[1] and the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] During the 1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital and Woodend Hospital, although no fatalities resulted.[3][4]
