46 Moore Street, Traralgon, Vic 3844

'Cumnock' was built as a hospital on two blocks on the corner or Moore and Byron Street in 1927 and from then was continued as a medical practice until 1956. It was Traralgon's second general hospital, but the first to be purpose built. It included maternity wards, general wards and an operating theatre. 

Construction of the hospital was financed by the wife of Dr Hagen. Dr Mclean, a pioneer doctor in Traralgon, assisted the Hagen's in running the hospital for many years. Other doctors involved with the practice include Dr Pryde, Dr Consindine, Dr Rees, Dr McTeague, Dr Fleming, Dr Tunbridge and nursing staff included sisters Donovan, Dodd, Campbell and Heenan. 

The building was used as a boarding house following its closure a few weeks after the opening of the Traralgon and District Hospital, which has since been demolished, when a new era in medical health became established at the Latrobe Regional Hospital. Mr and Mrs Olds ran the boarding house and later their daughter used it as a residence. 

in 1978, a group of teachers from Traralgon High School renovated the building - reroofing, repainting internally and externally, etc - and it was resold in 1980 where it has since been used as a private residence. 

The former hospital is a detached single story weatherboard home with a very broad, sloping, hip roof, more reminiscent of a Victorian homestead then an inter-war hospital home. A hip extension protrudes northwards from the main section of the building and the two bays project to the east which encloses a decked courtyard. 

There is a mix of different styles in the architectural details: the verandah posts are arts and crafts inspired with notched square posts in pairs connected with slatted sections instead of bracing; the chimney is a tall federation style stack with terracotta pot and the roof eaves contain projecting rafters. 

The rare chance to own this historic Traralgon marvel is not an opportunity which arises often.
