 The Red Cross built a small hospital, the HRH Duchess of Connaught Hospital, on the site.It was named after the Duchess of Connaught who had served as Viceregal consort of Canada from 1911 to 1916.In the Second World War, the Canadian Red Cross demolished many of the existing buildings to make way for a new, larger hospital with more equipment; this was named the Canadian Red Cross Memorial Hospital.
