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.
The "Peak Hospital" was founded by Dr. James Cantlie and was the second private hospital built in Hong Kong. Maude Ingall was the first matron, and Sister Annie Thompson, the second, though Dr. Cantlie did not fully approve of the way they ran the hospital. It was originally on Mt. Kellett (listed as such in 1894). It pre-dated Matilda Hospital, by 17 years.
Wikipedia says it opened on 14 Feb, 1872.
