I can see a house just to the left of the Hilton Hotel. Somehow "attached" to the Hilton. Does anybody knows what identifies that house. Moreover across to the left, just above the Murray Barracks there should be the Hong Kong Park as we know it today. On that picture the area is very open with a few scattered houses around. What was there at that time ?
The building you refer to was the other side of Garden Road from the Hilton site and was part of Murray Barracks where the Naval garrison was based, but I don't think it was the officer's mess which was later reconstructed in Stanley. Also it wasn't the Naval Commodore's house which was a little further up Garden Road if I remember correctly. Going up from the building in question there was a taxi rank and the bottom Peak Tram station and then the Helena May. In those days there were a few trees around that area!

Murray Barracks Demolishment
The picture also confirms the demolish date for the two Murray Barracks buildings as being during 1962 - they are half demolished in this picture
House just left to the Construction Site of Hilton Hotel
Good Morning,
I can see a house just to the left of the Hilton Hotel. Somehow "attached" to the Hilton. Does anybody knows what identifies that house. Moreover across to the left, just above the Murray Barracks there should be the Hong Kong Park as we know it today. On that picture the area is very open with a few scattered houses around. What was there at that time ?
Thank you and kind regards, Daniel
