E Division (1859) was constructed as one of the original buildings of Pentridgeโ€™s new Model Prison and served as the prison hospital for 100 years. Designed in the style of a nineteenth-century military hospital, it later became dormitory accommodation for long-term prisoners.

Towards the end of Pentridgeโ€™s operation, E Division once again became the prisonโ€™s medical and dental treatment centre.
