The Lady Musgrave Sanitorium for Sick Children, in Shorncliffe, was built in 1884 as a convalescent home for children. The Sanitorium did not formally open until 1888. Lady Lucinda Musgrave was the first patroness of the Hospital for Sick Children, and personally secured the land at Shorncliffe which was given in trust by the government. It was an extension of the Brisbane Hospital for Sick Children. 162 children were accommodated at the Sanitorium in the year of 1920. The Brisbane Hospital Board decided to close the Sanitorium in 1931.
