On the right-hand side (I think its Prince's Building) a sign says CALDBECKMACGREGO(R). This was a Wine, Spirit and Beer Merchant from London who opened the Hong Kong branch in 1889. In 1908  the offices were at 15 Queen's Road (Source: Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other Treaty Ports of China), they could have moved to Prince's Building later or had another branch here.

'This was a Wine, Spirit and Beer Merchant from London who opened the Hong Kong branch in 1989.'

1989?  Do you mean 1899?

Breskvar, thanks for reading carefully. Of course, it's 1889! I have corrected the date.
