Building Renamed
In 1905 the property at this location was called Glenwood.
A new Kingsclere was opened between 1901-1905 on Kennedy Road here also owned by E R Belios, so it seems the old family home on Caine Road was renamed Glenwood between 1901 to 1905. It is also possible that the old Kingsclere was demolished and a new building caled Glenwood was constructed in its place.
Glenwood
A 26-room house, rented by St. Stephen's Girls' College in 1908 as campus (2nd generation).
See SCMP (1949-06-15), p. 5.
I've merged the separate page
I've merged the separate page for Glenwood into this one, based on Herostratus's comment:
I am 90% sure that Glenwood and the 1st Kingslcare on Caine Road are the same building. It was badly damaged in the earthquake of 1918 and was replaced by a row of terraced houses soon after (c1920)
The 1905 map, and subsequent
The 1905 map, and subsequent maps, show the location on the map as the Club Lusitano.
The Club Lusitano label
The Club Lusitano label refers to the dark shaded building on the corner of Elgin and Shelly Streets to the right of the o in Lusitano. There is a place for it here
St. Stephen's Girls' College at "Glenwood" 1907-1918
In 1907, "Glenwood", a large house of 26 rooms were rented and the (school) name was then changed to St. Stephen's Girls' College (from St. Stephen's Preparatory School).
The earthquake of February, 1918, had so seriously damaged the rented premises at 27, Caine Road that other accommodation had to be sought in Babington Path.
"My School Days at St. Stephen's" appears in the 2nd Edition of the News Echo Magazine of St. Stephen's Girls' College and Fairlea (School), 1929. Written by Cheng Cheung Sau Ping, an ex-pupil from the very early days of the College. See Hong Kong Memory here
