Again, I'm just going on what I knew in school over a decade ago and that was the house further up the hill, and to the left in this picture was the US Consul's house. Although I can't recall having seen it recently, the US flag flew proudly above the house.

I just grabbed this photo from Google Street View so you can see what is there now.

3 Barker Road

 

Click on the photo to see a larger image.

There are three buildings in this photo:

  1. The main building in the foreground is, as Annelise says, "1 Barker Road"
  2. Above that we can see the corner of a platform, with a curved building on it. That may be part of 3 Barker Road, the US Consul General's House.
  3. Then in the distance on the skyline is a much smaller building with a curved balcony.

I'll change the title of this photo from "No. 3 Barker Road/Former U.S. Consul General's House" to "No. 1 Barker Road".
