It was originally a poorhouse. The foundation stone was laid in 1765 but the building was requisitioned by the military in 1779 as there was no barracks on the island. It was used as a hospital poorhouse from 1793. The building was largely destroyed by fire in 1859. Until 1868, when St Saviour's Hospital was opened, it also served as a lunatic asylum.[3][better source needed]
There were plans to replace it with a single-site facility at Overdale costed at £804 million but in November 2022 it was reported that the plans were now for a hybrid General Hospital spread across the existing Gloucester Street site, adjacent land at Kensington Place, and Overdale.[4]
