St. Joseph's Home for the Aged

St. Joseph's Home for the Aged is located at No. 35 Clear Water Bay Road, Ngau Chi Wan, Wong Tai Sin, New Kowloon, Hong Kong. The site spans 230,000 square feet (21,000 m²).

St. Joseph's Home for the Aged refers to a compound of historical buildings; more than 10 buildings at its peak. The site was not originally a home for the elderly, but a villa (or storey-house) belonging to Mr. Chan Keng-Yu (陳賡如). This added historical significance to the compound as Mr. Chan Keng-Yu was the Compradore of Douglas Lapraik and Co., as well as one of the Founding Directors of Chinese Chamber of Commerce (華商總會).

In 1926, the site was sold to the Little Sisters of the Poor, a French-based charitable body and Roman Catholic order for women. Architect firm, Crédit foncier d'Extrême-Orient, was in charge of the development of St. Joseph's Home for the Aged in the 1930s.

During the 1930s, St. Joseph's Home for the Aged served as a refuge for those who fled from the Japanese invasion in China.
