Re: Austin Avenue
I think the large lot was called the Amai or Aimai Villas. Something to work on.
5 houses on this lot (Nos.14
5 houses on this lot (Nos.14,16,18,20 & 22 Austin Avenue) were completed in 1913 but I dont see any name given. Aimai Villas starts appearing in the Jurors list from 1915. What is it that makes you link theAimai name with these buildings?
1913 PWD Report
The 1913 PWD Report under heading no. 139 gives No. 1-5 Aimai Villas as being on Austin Avenue. Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1172 is given. I note that Kiu Fung Mansions mentioned above also has the same lot number.

To capture Aimai Villas in the place location, suggest to add "Aimai Villas, 14-22 Austin Avenue " in the title. Thanks.
