The Marylebone Infirmary, Notting-Hill, opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales, 1881. Hospital in west London '...for the accommodation of the sick poor of Marylebone...the western side is entirely open to the fields and to the suburban common that bears the name of Wormwood Scrubbs. The whole site includes a space of more than three acres, but less than half this space is covered by the buildings, the remaining space being devoted to gardens, yards, and wide passages, separating the blocks of building, or "pavilions," as they are styled in modern hospital architecture, from one another. This principle, for the design of buildings to contain large numbers of sick persons, has received the emphatic approval of the highest medical and sanitary authorities in every nation of Europe, and is likely to be adopted in all such institutions to be erected in future. The architects to the Marylebone guardians, Messrs. H. Saxon Snell and Son, have planned this group of buildings with a very judicious and convenient arrangement...The builders were Messrs. Wall, brothers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
