Site of the Old Wuhu Hospital

The Site of the Old Wuhu Hospital is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Anhui Province.

The Site of the Old Wuhu Hospital is one of the earliest Western-style hospitals in China and consists of four individual buildings. The Internal Medicine Building features a brick-and-wood structure with an irregular but well-organized layout. It was constructed in 1924 and completed in 1936. The site has a concave-shaped floor plan, spanning 74.70 meters in width and 52.355 meters in depth, with a total construction area of 5,474.24 square meters. The Hospital Director’s Building is located on the mountainside of Yijishan, close to the Yangtze River. It faces east and has a flexible layout with a pyramidal roof. The Experts’ Building is situated to the west of the Director’s Building, adjacent to it, and features walls built with gray bricks laid in flush joints, a hip-and-gable roof, and a red machine-made tile covering. The Former Residences of Shen Kefei and Chen Cuizhen are located on the eastern mountainside of Yijishan. These are two-story buildings with partial mezzanine levels, featuring walls built with red bricks laid in flush joints. They now have hipped red barrel-tiled roofs, are of brick-and-wood structure, and use brick walls for load-bearing.
