History
In March 1926, the Australian Inland Mission opened a hospital in Lake Grace. It was closely associated with John Flynn and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It was a cottage hospital under the charge of Sisters Bennett and Cousins. In 1926, a medical fund scheme was established to obtain the services of a doctor in Lake Grace, and Dr Fry subsequently commenced practice. The hospital developed and the verandahs were enclosed to allow for more wards and operating facilities. In 1930, a local committee took control of the hospital. In 1932, Dr Margaret Clarke took over from Dr Fry. In 1949, plans were prepared for a new hospital facility, and the foundation stone for the hospital was laid on 2 December 1950 by Mr Bishop. The Lake Grace Memorial Hospital and nurses quarters were opened on the 29 November 1952, by Dame Florence Cardell-Oliver, MLA. The 16 bed hospital and separate nurses quarters cost £130,000. The former AIM hospital was 'renovated' to house the hospital domestic staff, and two 150,000 gallon underground water tanks were constructed (since demolished). In 1980, the separate building which had been constructed as a Maternity wing, was closed and converted by volunteer labour, into a Frail Aged Lodge. It was no longer part of the Hospital management. In 1984, the hospital underwent major renovations and repairs. Up until 1995, the hospital was a departmental hospital run form Narrogin. At a public meeting the vote was for a local Health Services Board to manage the Lake Grace Hospital. The anesthetist and surgeon travel from Wagin twice a month for scheduled surgery.

History
Charles Hainsworth had the place constructed for his saddlery business in 1928. at a time when mechanisation was beginning to infiltrate the agricultural and transport industries, it was a very bold business enterprise and premises. The Dining Room was planned as the "Grand Cafe" and the Museum which now occupies that room, still has examples of the furniture and fittings which were arranged for the cafe, including inscribed cutlery. A number of outbuildings were constructed on the site, including a cellar, and a bathroom under the tankstand.
