During the economic depression which engulfed Victoria in the 1890s, T. Aubrey Bowen bequeathed 20,000 for division amongst Victorian charitable and benevolent institutions. Five buildings resulting from this bequest were: the Aubrey Bowen Wing at The Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, the Bowen Memorial Operating Theatre at the Melbourne Hospital, the Bowen Block at the Austin Hospital, the Aubrey Bowen Operating Room and Wards at the Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum, and the Aubrey Bowen Cottage at the Old Colonists’Homes.
