  • Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T
    Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T. Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋, literally the Big Mansion of the Tsang Family) is also Historical called Shan Ha Wai (山廈圍, literally, Walled Village at the Foothill). Its Interest construction was started in 1847 and completed in 1867. Measuring 45 metres by 137 metres, it was built by Tsang Koon-man (曾貫萬, 1808-1894), nicknamed Tsang Sam-li (曾三利), who was a Hakka (客家) originated from Wuhua (五華) of Guangdong (廣東) province which was famous for producing masons. He came to Hong Kong from Wuhua working as a quarryman at the age of 16 in Cha Kwo Ling (茶果嶺) and Shaukiwan (筲箕灣). He set up his quarry business in Shaukiwan having his shop called Sam Lee Quarry (三利石行).

  • Historic Building Appraisals of the 2 New Items
    N28 Historic Building Appraisal Pound Lane Public Toilet and Bathhouse, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong The existing Pound Lane Public Toilet and Bathhouse (磅巷公廁及浴 Historical 室 ) was built at the junction of Pound Lane and Tai Ping Shan Street Interest (formerly known as Taipingshan Street, 太平山街) in 1961, on the site of an earlier bathhouse. The old bathhouse was built in 1904 in response to the outbreak of a Bubonic Plague in May 1894 in Taipingshan District, which was where the early Chinese population lived, and it was demolished in the late 1950s. It is thought that the English name of “Pound Lane” was derived from the existence of a government pound, or place where strayed cattle and so forth, or animals due for quarantine or confiscation, were kept. 1 Apart from the government pound, livestock such as pigs, cows and goats were also raised in buildings on Pound Lane and in its vicinity. Such animals were kept in shops, dwelling houses or shop-cum-dwelling houses. In April 1874, the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. Ph. B. C. Ayres, completed a report on the sanitary condition of the town of Victoria. It was observed that pigs were commonly kept in the houses all over the town. In houses including those on Pound Lane and in its vicinity, pigs were kept in kitchens, gullies at the back of houses and even under beds. The unhygienic conditions in dwellings of ordinary Chinese residents were also described by Ayres in his Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon for the year 1879, in which he described dwellings that in general lacked pure air, pure water, purity from damp, pure light and equable temperature.

  • Hollywood Road Pamphlet
    Police Headquarters Block Location 10 Hollywood Road Date of completion 1919 Main building materials Steel reinforcement, concrete, granite, red bricks Architect Leslie Owen Ross of Britain, Royal Engineer Officer of the British Army Hong Kong Garrison Major functions Used as the Hong Kong Island Regional Police Headquarters and the Central District Police Headquarters after World War II. The building was decommissioned in 2004. HONG KONG HERITAGE SERIES Architectural features 1. Facing Hollywood Road, and BUILT IN HONG KONG serving as the distinguishing landmark of the Compound. 2. The north façade of the building is 4-storey high, offering an impression of solemnity and authority. 3. Constructed with the steel- reinforced concrete technology POLICE HEADQUARTERS BLOCK newly introduced at the time. This freed the adornments of the outer- wall from the constraints of the underlying architectural structure, and combined flexibly the building styles of different eras to give an aura of authority. Architectural features The front elevation of Police Headquarters Block reflects the revivalist architectural style that gained popularity in mid-18th century Britain: 1. Doric order: featuring massive columns bearing fillisters — a classic style common among Greek temples. 2. Roman arch: elongates the vertical proportion of the entire façade, giving the building a more solemn aura. 3. Baroque style: a popular style during the 17th century featuring columns that connect through several storeys. The style is grand and magnificent. 4. The “G” and “R” engravings at the centre of the building: abbreviated from the Latin rendering of the name of King George the Fifth ( Georgius V Rex ). 5. The decorative designs fringing the front entrance: are a symbol of the sceptre-holding disciplinary officials in ancient Rome, symbolising the tradition and authority of the Police Force.

What was at stake really boils down to the issue of Hong Kong’s self-positioning vis-à-vis the rising economic and political strength of Mainland China. This issue is certainly nothing new, given that most cultural discourses in the 1990s, both within and outside Hong Kong, have focused on the city’s postcolonial status after the handover. This article therefore proposes to approach such an issue from the perspective of the Sinophone to bring to light how cultural production in Hong Kong can generate alternative thinking.

    Executive Summary The Achievements and Challenges of Urban Renewal in Hong Kong March 2010 Dr. C.K. Law Dr. Ernest W.T. Chui Dr. Y.C. Wong Dr. K.M. Lee Ms. L.S. Ho University of Hong Kong Background of Study 1. In mid-2008, the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government has started the Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) review exercise. As part of the URS Review and as a continuation of an earlier study on urban renewal experience in six Asian cities, the Research Team from the University of Hong Kong was asked in August 2009 to conduct a study on the achievements and challenges of urban renewal in Hong Kong. 2. The current Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) was published in November 2001. It spells out the principles, objectives of urban renewal, and the targets, the role of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA), the land assembly process, the processing of projects including the social impact assessment, financial arrangement, parameters and guidelines. The URS was issued to the Urban Renewal Authority. Objective of study 3. The objective of the present study is to analyse and consolidate our local experience in urban renewal as we proceed with the URS review. Scope of study 4. While there are diverse views on what urban renewal should be, to take stock of the achievements and challenges in urban renewal since the formation of the URA, the relevant provisions in the URS would be used as the framework and yardstick in this study. 5. This study selected a number of urban renewal projects implemented by the URA as case studies, including Redevelopment projects - H15 (Lee Tung Street/McGregor Street); K7 (Kwun Tong Town Centre), K2 (with a focus on the difference in approach between LDC and URA); Rehabilitation projects/initiatives - Chung Sing Mansion (the first one in the rehabilitation programme); Tai Kok Tsui cluster; Building Rehabilitation Material Incentive Scheme, and Building Rehabilitation Loan Scheme; Preservation projects/initiatives - Mallory Street/Burrows Street project; Revitalisation projects/initiatives - Tai Kok Tsui street beautification.
