The facility has its origins in the Omoa Poorhouse,[a] which was designed by Alexander Cullen[2] and opened in 1903.[3][4] Following closure of the poorhouse in 1939, the buildings were converted for use as a military hospital during the Second World War.[3] The new facility then joined the National Health Service as Cleland Hospital in 1948.[5]
After services had been transferred to a modern community hospital on the east side of the site, the old hospital buildings were demolished in 2008.[3]
