Marrickville Hospital was a hospital in Marrickville, a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
A group to fund the construction of the hospital began in 1895. [1] Morgan and Josephson Architects were appointed to design the buildings and the foundation stone was laid in 1897 by Governor Hampden. [2] Consisting of two buildings, one facing Lilydale Street with the other one behind, the hospital was opened in 1899 [3] as Marrickville Cottage Hospital. That same year, the hospital proper opened, and was renamed Marrickville District Hospital in 1922. An isolation wing was added to the rear block in 1902 and a second building was constructed on the front block in 1905. The two buildings on the front block were joined by the addition of a square tower over the entrance facing Lilydale Street in 1913. [4] Matron Helen Beattie ran the hospital for 32 years, until her retirement in 1935. [5] In the 1970s a lack of funding saw declining usage for the site, and in 1990, the hospital closed its doors, and has remained empty since.
In 2015, Marrickville Council released plans to redevelop the site into a residential and commercial development including a new library and 'community hub'. [6] The council entered into a partnership with developer Mirvac to deliver the project. The site is located on the corner of Marrickville and Livingstone roads.

The Sydney County Council (SCC) was formed in 1935 to produce electricity and operate the electricity network in a number of municipalities in metropolitan Sydney. Unlike other New South Wales county councils, which were voluntary associations of local councils to undertake local government activities permitted or required of them by the Local Governnment Act 1919, Sydney County Council was established under a separate piece of legislation by the state government to perform the electricity distribution and streetlighting operations of the local government areas concerned. On its establishment it assumed control of the Electricity Department of the Sydney City Council, which was already supplying electricity to other municipalities. In 1952, the SCC lost most its electricity generation functions to the Electricity Commission of New South Wales and retained only its distribution functions. The SCC was merged with other municipal county councils in 1990 to form Sydney Electricity.
