Since the mid-twentieth century, the building has been used by the state hospital, first as a student hostel then, since the early 1980s, as a training centre.

A separate boy's orphanage was erected at the same date a little way to the south of the girls' establishment. It no longer exists except for a plaque which was once located above its entrance. The plaque has now been fitted into a wall near its original site.
