This may be "Belmont", a house that once stood on the site of the Clifton Terrace / Wardman Court apartments (1312 Clifton St., NW) in Columbia Heights:


A few elements are obviously missing, but I wonder if this photo wasn't actually taken a bit earlier than the date given in the description. Construction on Belmont finished in 1886 - maybe this was taken while work was still under way?

Other images of the house are available on pg. 116-117 of James Goode's Capital Losses (2nd ed.).

Looking more closely at this image, I'm fairly convinced it's Belmont - I can't find any information RE: when the porch visible in the 2nd image was added, though. D.C. historian Paul K. Williams reports here that: Around the turn of the Century, Belmont Street seemed to attract many members of the geological, naturalist, and early environmental professions, most of whom worked at the Smithsonian Institution ... So Smillie may well have been in the neighborhood.

Bundaberg Base Hospital is a public hospital in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. Bundaberg Base Hospital was opened by the Governor of Queensland in 1914. Bundaberg Hospital was the scene of a political scandal, due to the 'gross negligence of one of its surgeons, Jayant Patel. Manslaughter charges have been recommended against him, while charges of official misconduct were leveled at the hospital's Director of Medical Services, Dr. Darren Keating (the top-ranked doctor), and District Manager, Mr. Peter Leck (the CEO). On 29 June 2010, Jayant Patel was found guilty of the unlawful killing of three patients, and grievous bodily harm to a fourth.[2] On 1 July he was sentenced to seven years in jail for his offenses.[3] His lawyers made a successful appeal to the High Court of Australia where his convictions of manslaughter and grievous bodily harm were quashed and a new trial was ordered.

Community is at the heart of the hospital's history BUNDABERG Hospital has a proud history of serving the ever changing health needs of our local community. 2 min read July 7, 2014 - 12:00PM It was community support and fundraising at the start of the 20th century which resulted in the old four-room wooden building being replaced by what was a modern two-storey brick hospital building and nurses' quarters. In 1914 Bundaberg Hospital was a 16 public bed facility serving a population of around 9000 people. One hundred years later Bundaberg Hospital now has more than 200 beds and is the primary health facility for about 93,000 people. Additions to the original floor plan have included the outpatients' block, Allied Health, and Rehab ward, a new emergency department, the new family unit, and the main block to cater to ICU, renal, pediatrics, and operating theatres. "The centenary is an occasion to celebrate not only the building but the health care provided by the thousands of staff who have served the Bundaberg community. Former and current staff can look back with a lot of pride on how they have each contributed to the health and wellbeing of the people of Bundaberg."
