DoB from John Black's list, which gives initials "T A", but doesn't list an occupation for Mr Wickerson.
In the 1941 Juror's list there is this entry, which I guess is the same person:
c | Wickerson, Reginald Andrew | Manager, China Provident Loan & Mortgage Co., Ld. | H.K. Club. |
Mark Watson writes:
My Grandfather Mr R A Wickerson designed 545a The Peak and lived there in the 1950's
He was MD of China Provident at the time and was apparantly responsible for the North Point Redevelopment
Prior to this he was a Civilian Internee at Stanley Prisoner of War camp.

Thanks Phillip
I will pass your info onto my Mother
I spoke to her last night and she was thrilled to hear that the house is possibly still standing
I know she has a album full of photos of her time in HK
My wife also lived in HK in the late 70'S when her father was staioned there with the Green Jackets
We were in HK recently and she said it has changed so much in her time
