The building (also shown in Image) stands on the northern side of Image, which is visible in the foreground. "Originally a Fever and Infectious Diseases hospital, the County Hospital (now called 'Dumbarton Joint') replaced the former Combination Hospital". The main building "opened in 1894 at a cost of around £20,000. It occupied a five acre site, then outside the burgh boundary." [The above information is from the booklet "Old Dumbarton" (John Hood, 1999), which provides additional details.]
