The 1896 map shows Kimberley Villas as a single building on KIL 535, with lots 533, 534, and 541 around it: https://gwulo.com/node/46364#19~22.30097~114.17265~Map_by_GovHK-Markers…

On the 1920 map, lots 535 and 541 have been merged into KIL 535, and lots 533 and 534 have been merged into KIL 533. The original building is still on KIL 535, and there's a new building on KIL533: https://gwulo.com/node/46364#19~22.30089~114.17265~Map_by_GovHK-Markers…

Moddsey notes: 

According to the 1938 Street Index at: 1938 Street Index page 243 (image 447) Kimberley Villas was on K.I.L. 533 and 535

A search for Kimberley Villas shows several addresses with numbers 3 & 4.

I believe the two buildings were collectively known as Kimberley Villas, with the older building being numbers 1 & 2, and the newer building numbers 3 & 4.
