From the China Mail dated 8th August 1868:
We are somewhat surprised that the very excellent set of photographs brought out by Mr. Floyd do not include some views from the neighbourhood of Lyeemoon pass, Stanley, and Aberdeen. A view from the Peak too on a clear day would surely repay the trouble. He has however given us some pleasing pieces from Pokfulam. Douglas Castle, before noticed, makes one, or rather three, of them, there being three photographs of that well-known building, No. 89 being the best of the three. Siemssen's Bungalow, No. 119; and Mr. Ruttonjee's House, No. 65, are views of a similar nature, and they all maintain the excellent character visible in the majority of Mr. Floyd's pictures

I have looked for a good source/map of all the houses in Pok Fu Lam but never really found anything definitive. The search continues. It doesn't help that many of the houses were built in a similar style. This could be the same house as JJ dos Remedios - I am unsure
