A related photo here from the same viewing location on the same day. Looking towards Nathan Road. The vertical road on the right is Mody Road which intersects Hanoi Road at bottom right. The shorter vertical road at mid-left in between the low-rise buildings is Minden Avenue.

I can see the President / Hyatt Hotel straight ahead:

1960s President Hotel

So the photographer is looking along Mody Road, and the curved building lower-right is on the corner of the junction with Hanoi Road.

Hi David,

Good find.  Some of the older buildings that showed up in the photo still exist today.  The obvious ones are:

1.   Star Mension at Minden Row;

2.   Peninsula Apartments at Minden Row and Mody Road;

3.   Chung King Mansions;

4.   Mirrador Mansion;
