It's high up on the hill and actually isn't much taller than you can see in this photo.

It's an abandoned (boarded up, full of graffiti, broken windows abandoned) former nurses' residence. Part of the property is still used as a parking lot but the province owns the land so the city can't do anything with it.

Here's what it looked like before the neighbouring hospital buildings were demolished: http://newfoundlandshop.ca/images/Hoddinott/Hoddinott_GraceHospitalMED.jpg

It was closed once Catholics/Protestants decided they didn't need adjacent, separate hospitals. Here's the distance from that site, the Grace (B), and the nearest other hospital, St. Claire's (A):

Mmm that's a shame. It looks much taller from a distance. I guess it's part of that St. John's hill effect.

Also, nice dress
