In 1883, Alfred Roberts, Chairman of the RPA Board of Directors invited gifts of six stained glass windows to decorate RPA's first chapel. By 1887, eight windows had been presented and installed in both the chapel and the main waiting area in the entrance to RPA, and a further four donated and added in 1907.

 

Crafted by Ashwin and Falconer of Pitt Street, this window depicts a formal representation of Queen Victoria. She wears a fur trimmed gown and crown, blue sash, and order of the garter, holds a sceptre in her right hand and a scroll in her left bearing the words Prince Alfred Hospital. Behind her are red, white, and gold columns with a green and red floral design above and a clear bullseye glass pattern, the lower row of which has traces of red. A yellow and green foliate border contains the names of her husband, Albert the Good, and nine of their children.

Stained glass windows, of Heraldic designs, and very beautiful as works of art, have been fixed in the main hall of the Hospital, adding greatly to the appearance of this noble entrance.

The first Prince Alfred Hospital Chapel was housed on level 1 of the Administrative Block (RPA Main Entrance building). The chapel was relocated in 1907 to a new building with some windows transferred to the front waiting room, while others like the above went into storage. Today they can be seen on the wall of the RPA Museum.
