His Excellency Baron de Courcel, French Ambassador, inaugurated this French Convalescent and Retirement Home (a branch of the French Hospital in London) on 8th October 1898.This plaque is to the left of the front door and there is a matching plaque to the right on which the convalescent home comes first, ie was opened by the good baron. I have been unable to discover why the French Government would want to pay to build both a hospital and a convalescent home in England.
