Description: | The picture shows (probably the rear elevation of) a large Italianate house.
This is Chateau Blanc, originally Westfield House belonging to the Sandeman family. It later became the Grand Hotel, and subsequently in turn Chateau Blanc, St. Patrick's Convent, St. Francis de Sales, and the Choir School of Our Lady and St. John.
The building was largely demolished in 1993; a small remaining portion has been made into a rest home for elderly people, and a modern housing estate has been built in what were once the grounds.
