Five-Story Building V. N. Dronnikoff, architect

Thu, 07/08/2021 - 22:11

This is one of the projects of the architect Vladimir Dronnikoff, built for Minutti & Partners, photographed soon after its completion, between 1950 and 1953. I am looking for help identifying this building and its location. According to Dronnikoff's CV, this could be either a "School building for the French Mission" or a "Hospital Staff Quarters Building for the French Mission." Thank you!

St. Teresa's Hospital on Prince Edward Road was founded in 1940 by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres, & is known as Kowloon French Hospital.

The 1940 photo looks similar, but not identical, 4 vs 5 floors. Maybe the 4-level one was from the front elevation, the other was from the back. Or it could be another building on the same campus.
