Three houses from estimated 1910, built on Marine Lot 63

To get an impression about the buildings here is a map from 1922 together with a photo from around 1910.

It looks as if the houses are under construction. They probably are or will be the premises of the Sun Department Store / Dah Sing Department Store.

Likely they are shown on this photo which is probably from the 1910s (and not 1920s) west of Wing Wo Street.

There are three houses with a common gable showing that they are a unit. At the end of the 1920s they were replaced or reconstructed to The Sun Department Store / Dah Sing Department Store
