Victoria Hotel, DVRC [????-c.1895]

Submitted by David on

This building stood on the south side of Des Voeux Road Central, from Li Yuen Street West across to Pottinger Street. I'm not sure how far south towards Queen's Road the building extended. [Update: It extended the full length of the block, see: https://gwulo.com/comment/55565#comment-55565]

When it was built it stood on the seafront, so it is easily seen on photos taken from the harbour.
