Captured from a WYC-HK Golden Jubilee Booklet 1969. The school was using the St. Joseph's Manion as well as an adjacent Classroom block which was part of St. Joseph's College until 1922.  The concrete highrise, said to be first of its kind, was built later as residences for the Portuguese community, with Club Lucitano using the Hall at the level below Robinson Rd. Regular dances were held in the hall according to Paul Tsui whose father, Peter Tsui Yan-sau, founded the two Wah Yan Colleges.
