The British Military Hospital are the buildings on the higher elevation. Cannot recall the name of the building in the foreground.

The photo is not of “The Peak” as titled. But of the Mid-Levels area, lower levels below the Peak District. The former BMH still stands.

The building in the foreground is Braeside. The photographer was likely standing in the same spot as the picture taken below, but facing the other way.
