Old Pathological Institute (Bacteriological Institute)

Built in 1905, this was Hong Kong's first bacteriological institute. The headquarters of the institute (later renamed Pathological Institute) was relocated in 1960, but the building was still used for vaccine development until the 1970s. It was turned into the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences in 1995. Its Edwardian architectural style with parapet walls decorated with a Dutch gable and obelisk-shaped finials is rare in Hong Kong.
