Though Royal Navy bought Parish hill in 1905, it remained vacant until 1931 when the Naval Infectious Disease Hospital was built. It was severely damaged during the war and abandoned after the war. There was a news report that there were squatter huts there. Government moved them to North Point in 1948.  Wah Yan college moved there in 1955. This picture shows that it was still standing after 1949. Therefore date of demolition  is between 1949 and 1955.

A picture in the 1920s seems to indicate the hospital on Parish hill in the 1930s was not yet built:
