Sisters' Quarters, Kowloon Hospital | Gwulo: Old Hong Kong

Sisters' Quarters, Kowloon Hospital

Sisters' Quarters, Kowloon Hospital

Captioned: 'Sisters Qtrs. My room faces front. arrow to room that was Isa's since she came back from leave, now Meg Wilson has it with an adjoining sittup [sic] Isa ... [erased]  Sister.'  The photo did not say it was Kowloon Hospital but on KH website I recently found an almost identical picture from same angle but with mature trees, named as P Block Kowloon Hospital, dated  2013 - not sure if okay to use as copyright to Baycrest. The hospital site says redevelopment continues so it may too have gone.  Circa 1935/6? I think my grandmother and great-aunt (Isa) went to work in Queen Mary's (opened 1937?) as have two pics of QM and sisters' quarters.

Although the focus of this heritage assessment as viewed here is on M Block, P Block and a general view of the surrounding area can be seen in old photos, maps and diagrams.

wow, loads to go at here thanks - in awe of how you come up with all this, more thanks.  Do you know how much of it remains? 

I think the exterior of P Block remains the same. Some photos of Kowloon Hospital as seen here

Heartening to see that some of old HK worth preserving - and that my Gran and Auntie's old quarters now considered of architectural merit! Also love the beautuful trees - a friend's relative living in HK was going to try to check this out for me but think family illness has prevented - thanks again, I have much reading to do
