Truby King Harris Hospital (former), Andersons Bay

An $8,000 grant was made towards essential exterior plaster repairs to this significant building.

The Plunket Society’s Former Truby King Harris Hospital, built in 1938 and designed by Dunedin architect Arthur Salmond, is an early example of Modernist architecture in New Zealand. The Truby King Harris Hospital has special historical significance as the site of the first Plunket Society’s Karitane Home for babies. It was also the society’s sole training hospital for Plunket and Karitane nurses until the 1960s. Its design reflects the Plunket philosophy emphasising hygiene and fresh air with its balconies, terraces, and range of windows. The hospital closed in 1978.
