Present Day
In honour of Dr William Bland's contribution to medical practice within early Australia, a twelve level building opposite Sydney Hospital at 229-231 Macquarie Street in Sydney was built in 1960 and named the William Bland Centre. It predominantly houses private medical practices such as Physiotherapy Clinic mySydneyPhysio, addressing the health needs of Sydney's CBD workforce.
A public housing building, Blandville Court, on Victoria Road at Gladesville is named after the early name of the nearby suburb of Henley which was originally called Blandville after Dr Bland.

—Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944)
“The day of the absolute is over, and we’re in for the strange gods once more.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
