Beverley Infant Health Centre (Site) 1952-c.2006
The Beverley Infant Health Centre was a single-storey brick render and hipped clay tiled roof building that addressed both street frontages; the clinic to Vincent Street and the residence unobtrusive on the side street facing the CWA rooms.
It was designed by the renowned Architect W.G. Bennett who had designed the Beverley Town Hall and Hotel Beverley’s upgrade in the late 1930s, in the Inter-war Functionalist style that was evident in the Infant Health Centre, even though it was a post-war building.
It was representative of the establishment of public and community services during the Post-War period, and subsequent growth of the Infant Health Association of Western Australia.
Infant Health Centre had associations with the Nurses who have worked and lived at the place from 1952 to 2003 and with local management committee members, as well as the mothers and children who have attended the clinic over the generations.
