The text on the plaque reads as follows:
One of the earliest nurses' residences in Canada, this stately building symbolizes the development and recognition of nursing as a profession. The home was completed in 1904 for students at Kingston General Hospital's nursing school, who cared for patients in the wards and operating rooms as part of their training. The building was later named in honour of Ann Baillie, a graduate of the school and its superintendent from 1924 to 1942. Here, as elsewhere, a place of their own helped nurses shape a professional role indispensable to health care within the hospital and in the community.
Le texte sur la plaque se lit comme suit:
Cet imposant immeuble, une des premières résidences d'infirmières au Canada, symbolise l'essor et la reconnaissance de cette profession. Complété en 1904 pour loger les étudiantes attachées à l'Hôpital Général de Kingston, il rappelle leur travail auprès des personnes hospitalisées et leur venue dans les salles d'opération. Il porte le nom de l'infirmière-en-chef, Ann Baillie, diplômée de l'institution et qui en dirigea les destinées de 1924 à 1942. Le fait d'avoir leur propre résidence a contribué à renforcer, ici comme ailleurs, le rôle des infirmières en milieu hospitalier et au sein de la collectivité.
