1 - 4 Bowen Rd (IL 1416 RP) [????-c.1934]

A 1936 Map (HKPL Map library, HG34-3) shows this section of land bounded by Bowen Rd / Peak Tramway / Macdonnell Rd / Albany Nullah. It's also clearly visible (though without names) on the 1924 map.

On the upper half are two larger buildings, backing on to Bowen Road.

On the lower half are four smaller buildings, labelled (West-East) as Rougemont / <none> / Budleigh / Lynton.

All the buildings are semi-detached, so there were twelve separate residences in all.

Annelise notes they're also visible on the 1901 maps, see #12 and #16.

I wonder what the upper buildings were called? It'll be interesting to see if they appear in the Jurors' Lists, and find out who lived there.

The buildings have no marker set on the map.

Demolish date is c1934

This 1929 advert describes one of the buildings  as "Derrington, 3 Bowen Road":

On the 1909 map, both buildings are marked R.A. (Royal Artillery). There is also a label Officers Mess on the map, but it isn't clear if that applies to one of the buildings or both.

This looks to be how the buildings were used in the 1900s, as in these lists of the British Armed Forces in Hong Kong at that time, the Royal Artillery section has the heading "Royal Garrison Artillery, Victoria Barracks (Officers' Mess, Bowen Road)":
