Mount St. Francis was built in the 1940s. The Sisters of St. Ann sold it to the now-defunct Nelson and Area Health Council in 1996. They turned it over to the Interior Health Authority (IHA), which in turn shut it down in 2005. It’s been empty ever since.
10.9.2023 - It was demolished in 2022. Interior Health said prior to demolition the local heritage community and the Sisters of St. Ann were consulted to retrieve any parts of the old hospital for preservation.

The building is without a doubt Nelson’s most significant modernist building. Its massing, the interplay between horizontal lines and the vertical staircases, and the curved corners of the entrance give it a presence that speaks to the talents of its architects.
