The building was built in the early development of pokfulam road as at the time of the construction Hong Kong Government has just laid out a plan to build a reservoir to solve Hong Kong's lack of clean water. Prior to World War I, the building was sold to the French Mission and was used as a monastery and a center of bible printing. During the second World War, the Japanese occupied this building and used it as one of its soldier's base and headquarter.
