French Convalescent Home, Brighton, Grade II listed hospital in Brighton, England
The French Convalescent Home features French Renaissance Revival architecture with Belgian brick construction and stands on the seafront cliffs east of Kemp Town.
Established in 1896 to serve patients from the French Hospital in London, the institution received funding from the French Lottery and English donations.
The Sisters of St Paul of Chartres managed medical care at the facility until 1994, when local council nurses assumed responsibility for patient treatment.
The building transformed from a healthcare facility into residential apartments after its sale to Bovis in October 1999, maintaining its Grade II listed status.
Two additional pavilions expanded the original 61-resident capacity during the early twentieth century, with renovations including innovative double glazing installations.
