Cape House was the local branch in Smethwick of the Birmingham General Dispensary, a charitable foundation organisation which pre-dates the National Health Service by some considerable margin, and provided health care to the poor of Birmingham for many years (the charity itself closed in 2001). This particular building, which dates from 1907, was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101380114-cape-house-soho-and-victoria-ward#.XRB11IhKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1380114 in 2000.
