Little Sisters of the Poor
As a later addition by the Little Sisters of the Poor, the gate house was built in the mid-1930s. It followed the neo-classical style of the villa: it had pilasters of the Doric order. A tablet, placed at the centre of the front façade, was inscribed with the initials ‘JMJ’. It represented the recurring motto of the Little Sisters of the Poor: “Jesus, Mary &amp; Joseph” in memory of the Holy Family.
