背景 Background

梅夫人婦女會(一九七四年改稱The Helena May)由時任港督梅含理爵士夫人創立,為途經或短暫留港的單身職業女性提供住宿。主樓一九一六年建成,內設辦公室、圖書館、閱覽室、餐廳、休息室、課室、舍監宿舍及睡房。日治時期曾用作日軍宿舍及馬廄,一九四四年改作香港公共圖書館;日軍投降後由皇家空軍接管作總部,一九四六年交還,一九四七年重開為女性旅舍。建築屬愛德華古典復興風格,揉合布雜、巴洛克及矯飾主義元素;樓高三層連地庫,呈U形平面,面向花園道的正立面中央有入口門廊,其上為三層開放遊廊。一九九三年列為法定古蹟。

The Helena May Institute, renamed The Helena May in 1974, was founded by Lady May, wife of Governor Sir Henry May, to house single working women visiting or staying briefly in Hong Kong. Its Main Building, completed in 1916, contained offices, a library, reading room, dining room, lounge, classrooms, the matron's quarters and bedrooms. During the Japanese Occupation it housed Japanese troops and stabled horses, becoming the Hong Kong Public Library in 1944; after 1945 it became the Royal Air Force headquarters before reopening as a guesthouse for women in 1947. The Edwardian Classical Revival building has a U-shaped plan, three storeys and a basement, and three tiers of open verandahs above the entrance porch. Declared a monument in 1993.
