"Hildesheim Mission for the Blind" - first location

The picture shows the first "Home For The Blind" in the Western District in 1897. I do not have any hint about the exact location. In 1900 the blind girls and their teachers, Fräulein Postler and Fräulein Reinicke of the "Hildesheim Mission to the Blind", moved to Macao due to an outbreak of the Beriberi disease.

They returned to their new home in Kowloon in 1902.
