It was also where, until recently, the Queen Victoria Memorial Infectious Diseases Hospital was, right next door, just about, to the Women's Prison. Both are in the suburb of Fairfield which is adjacent to the suburb where I live. Both have been closed to their original purpose. I would think that far more deaths occurred in the former than the latter. (Personal experience helps guide this response.)
