Some information of the site can be found here.

"Visually, the enormous St. Albert’s Priory offers a landmark. It stood from 1935 to 1962 at what has now become 41 Stubbs Road (Villa Monte Rosa). To its left were three smaller lots: one with an unknown use and a second known as 'La Rue Villa' – together these two made up 40 Stubbs Road..."

"The La Rue Villa site had been owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church since 1923 and the building on it was named after an early Adventist missionary to Asia, Abram La Rue. By the 1930s, the villa housed a group of Adventist nuns."

"In the late 1960s, the Seventh Day Adventists wanted to build a hospital in Hong Kong. They created a large parcel of land by merging their existing La Rue site with the other #40 site and the #39 site (each was about two-thirds of an acre), if not additional land as well."

The hospital opened in 1971.
