[Toysler Memorial Hall] Resident Tangible Cultural Property (Place: in front of St. Luke's International Hospital)
Founder of St. Luke's R.B. Toysler (1876-1934)
The Toysler Memorial Hall was built in 1933 as a missionary hall at St. Luke's International Hospital. It is a two-story reinforced concrete building, and the exterior shows a Western-style architectural design that expresses the framework of pillars and beams. It was a wonderful house that I would like to live in.
The monument of Toysler has a statue of Toysler.

I went to the monument after the American Embassy in front of the Toysler Memorial Hall of St. Luke's International Hospital.
The U.S. Embassy was opened in 1875 (1875) and was later in K until 1890 (1890). It is said that the two-story wooden envoy was a Western-style building with cream-colored paint. The exotic city with Western-style architectures and towering church towers was completely lost in the Great Kanto Earthquake.
The monument in front of the Toysler Memorial Hall is made of stone cut off on the coast of Izu Peninsula, a shield-shaped star-shaped flag, an American national bird, a white head eagle (13 stars in the shield-shaped star-shaped flag and 13 stars around the white head eagle represent the 13 states of the United States at the time), and the five tombs.
