Physical Description
Godfrey House is two storey painted brick fine residence. It is a fine example of a two storey residential building exhibiting the characteristics of the Queen Anne style, which is skillfully designed to be read on two distinct elevations to give separate identities to the two residential zones accommodated within the building;
History
Godfrey House was built as the home of the Chief Medical Officer. The place is part of Princess Margaret Hospital, Western Australia’s principal children’s medical facility from its opening in 1909 to the present. It is one of only two extant buildings from the original phase of development of Princess Margaret Hospital and together with the more recent buildings, Godfrey House and the Outpatients Building Godfrey House represent the continuing development of Western Australia’s main children’s hospital. The place has provided accommodation for many prominent doctors and paediatricians who have worked at Princess Margaret Hospital, including Dr Robert Godfrey, after whom the place is named, who was the Medical Superintendent (and Medical Director) from 1953 to 1979.
