Frank James Hospital, Former hospital in East Cowes, United Kingdom.
The Frank James Hospital stands at Adelaide Grove, featuring Dutch architectural elements with defined pillars and intricate exterior details spanning multiple floors.
Constructed in 1903 by brothers William and Arthur James, the building initially served as a memorial home for retired seamen before converting into a cottage hospital.
The structure represents early 20th-century healthcare development on the Isle of Wight, demonstrating the transition from private charitable institution to public medical facility.
The building requires substantial renovation work, with current development plans focusing on preserving its architectural heritage while adapting it for modern purposes.
King George V contributed £5 to the hospital's operations, leading to the creation of a dedicated wing named in his honor in 1938.
