Dates from the GRS website with information about Wanchai's History. The hospital is mentioned several times in the 'Major incidents':

  • 1859 : St. Francis Hospital closed.
  • 1869 : St. Francis Hospital re-opened by the Canossian Sisters.

Plate 3-5b in Mapping Hong Kong shows that if you stood on Queen's Road and looked up St Francis Street, you'd see this building facing you at the end of the street.

There was an earlier St. Francis Hospital building nearby, and a third location at the Peak. We're not sure exactly where yet.

Regards, David
