• In 1877 there was an old farmhouse at Horlaubenstrasse 2 called “Haus Lemm”.

​​

• In 1880 Mr. J. W. Lord purchased the house and converted it into an English school. The house was given the name “Haus Lord”.

​​

• In 1882 Lord died.

​​

• In 1884, his widow, together with Mrs. A. Langmesser-Crothers, set up the “British Home” for the sick.

​​

• Around 1903 it had 15 beds. Mrs. Loob, who had selflessly run the English home for eleven years, died in Birmingham in 1897. A society was then formed under the prorectorate of the Bishop of Canterbury. The aim of the society was to preserve the home.​

​​

• In 1909 A. Baratelli converted and rebuilt the property into the “Pension Albula”. Hedwig Boecker and Ida Simonia ran the guesthouse until 1913. From then on, Rudolf Mayer-Leicht continued to run it as “Pension Villa Albula”.

​​

• From 1923, the Christian Social Health Insurance Association took over the house and turned it into the “Albula Sanatorium”.

​​

• In 1927 the sanatorium was moved to the building of today's youth hostel; the “Albula children's sanatorium” remained at this location.

​​

• In 1982 it became the children's ward of the "Alexanderhaus Allergy Clinic", and the house continued to belong to the Christian Social Health Insurance Association of Switzerland.

 

• A renovation took place in 1989/1990 and the Alexanderhaus allergy clinic remained rented.
