Early C.E. Warren shop for sanitary ware
I think that this is also the era that my grandfather, C.E. Warren had a showroom for sanitary ware in D'Aguilar Street/Wyndham Street (opposite the Germania Club) if I've got my geography right. Thanks to Herostratus for his analysis here: https://gwulo.com/comment/54758#comment-54758
manhole cover
A closer look into the photo shows a square area with cobble stones and a (metal) manhole cover. It is just in front of the rickshaw man. Either for a fresh water main or a sewer.
