Home for the Blind [1902-????]

Date Place completed: 
1902-01-01

This marker is only a guess for the "Home for the Blind" in Kowloon. The house was founded by the "Hildesheimer Blindenmission", Germany;  "Hildesheim Mission for the Blind". It is an early forerunner of what is todays "Ebenezer School & Home for the Visually Impaired" in Pokfulam. The lot of land was donated by Queen Voctoria in 1901.

Can anyone help with the localisation? My marker is only a guess.

I read in a missionary report that the "Home for the Blind" in Kowloon was located 7 minutes by foot on a hill above the village To Kwa Wan.
