House/Office on Point at Hung Hom Dockyard
The house existed into the 1930s, I assume it was either destroyed during the war or by dockyard expansion in the 1930s. I can find no trace of it post WW2

Completion date in 1880s / 90s?
I don't think this land was reclaimed until work began on the Admiralty Dock / No. 1 Dock, suggesting a completion date for the building of late 1880s or early 1890s.
I changed the date to match…
I changed the date to match No 1 dock on Gwulo
Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Co. Ltd
Hi David, please check in my book on Page 166. I served an apprenticeship here from 1948 to 1952. The Chief Manager was Mr. A Storrar. I have a few more photos to add and information not in my book but which I will submit after researching my archives.
All the best,
Bob Tatz,

re: Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Co. Ltd
Hi Bob, thanks in advance for any information you can add. This page is for a building that we think was destroyed in or before the war, so if you're adding any comments I recommend you add them to the main page for the dockyard at: https://gwulo.com/node/6667
Regards, David
