20, Des Voeux Road Central.

Completion date comes from the PWD Annual Report for 1913:

The demolition date is a guess, based on the completion date for Takshing House.

For reference. Noted the address given prior to the move to 20 Des Voeux Road Central, Whiteaway, Laidlaw & Co., was located opposite at 25 Des Voeux Road Central. China Mail 2 January 1913 refers.

Subsequently, the French Store took over the premises at the former address.
