The Leighton Hill
Does anyone know what the white building was? As far as I can tell it may have been some sort of pre-sales showroom/office for the new The Leighton Hill (禮頓山) development which can be seen under construction in the background. I don't think this was a historical building despite its seemingly old facade. It appears to have been demolished once the development opened and is now the Leighton Hill Public Garden.
Re: The Leighton Hill
Hi Phil,
That was quite a long time ago. I could not recall clearly. It looks like just a fake building. Or, like you say, a temporary building acting as pre-sale demo-flat and\or the reception of a field office for buyers to collect their keys.
