[2024 update: I originally created this Place to show the location of the army's Women's Hospital, believing it was located here. Now we see that the 'F' on the 1901 map is more likely just the identifier for the block, 'F Block', as described in the comments below. Which block was used for the Women's Hospital isn't clear at this point.]

Hong Kong Central Hospital was located in Stanton House on Lower Albert Road. Six-storeys high and completed at the end of 1949. Officially opened on 1 January 1950. The building still stands but has ceased to be a hospital on 1 September 2012.

Built in the gardens of the civil hospital and replacing a temporary matshed. The main building consisted of two blocks of 4 beds each surrounded by a verandah. Coolie Quarters, with accommodation for 10 coolies, was built on a lower terrace adjacent to Eastern Street connected to the main block by a covered walkway.
