English Mission Hospital

English Mission Hospital, Former mission hospital on Hanevi'im Street, Jerusalem, Israel

The English Mission Hospital occupies buildings at 82 Hanevi'im Street, erected in 1895–1896 to Beresford Pite's plans and inaugurated on 13 April 1897 in a British colonial style. A central Kennaway wing housed the administration, four side pavilions held the patient departments, and a semicircular covered passage links them. Two two-storey buildings with stone domes served as clinic and pharmacy and as the doctor's house.

The English Mission Hospital was founded in 1844 by the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews, first in the Old City near the Jewish Quarter, and moved in 1897 to buildings on Hanevi'im Street 82 designed by British architect Beresford Pite. Its opening provoked a boycott by the Old Yishuv, and in response a small Jewish hospital was set up the same year with Moses Montefiore, followed by the Rothschild Hospital in 1854. During the 1948 war Hadassah Hospital moved into these buildings until it left for Ein Kerem in 1963.

The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews ran the hospital and named it the "Jewish Hospital", aiming to treat Jewish patients and convert them. The Old City's Jewish community responded with a herem, a ban on anyone entering, yet many Jews still chose its care over the primitive medicine available elsewhere in Jerusalem.

The former hospital stands at 82 Hanevi'im Street, near the corner of Pins Street, in central Jerusalem. The buildings now house the Anglican School, a private school, so the site is not open to casual visitors; view the colonial-style facades and stone domes from the street.

The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews ran the hospital from 1844 to 1948. Its 1897 Hanevi'im Street complex, designed by British architect Beresford Pite, later housed Hadassah Hospital during the 1948 war, when Mount Scopus became a Jordanian enclave. Since then the buildings have held the Anglican School, a private school for children of diplomats and UN staff.
