The facility was founded as the Liverpool Hahnemann Hospital and Dispensaries in 1887. The hospital building at 42-56 Hope Street, designed by F & G Holme, is an example of the Queen Anne revival style. The external elevations are in red Ruabon brick with stone dressings beneath a Welsh slate roof. Funding came from sugar merchant Henry Tate. It is now a Grade II listed building. It was the first hospital in the United Kingdom to contain early hydraulic lifts and an innovative heating and ventilation system. It joined the National Health Service in the 1948. Renamed as the Hahnemann Hospital in 1969, it was eventually closed in 1976. It now provides accommodation for students. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Homeopathic_Hospital
