I've set the demolition date
I've set the demolition date to 1955.

[The house] was heavily shelled during the Japanese attack on Hong Kong.
It looks to have been beyond repair, as in this 1954 photo it can be seen top-left, and is a roofless, window-less shell:
Then in the top-right corner of this 1956 photo there is scaffolding up, probably the construction site for the current #29 which was completed in 1957.
I guess the old building was demolished sometime between the two photos, so appx 1955.
