Hong Kong street map 1957

Hong Kong Bank Building: 90, 132.   (Two lots?)

Chartered Bank Building : 133

Bank of Canton Building: 92

91?  Cannot find from the Building Guide.

Hi,

The map of Places is a good tool to see if we have anything about a building. #91 was '4, Des Voeux Road'.

Regards, David

The two lots of HSBC run vertical, not horizontal.   ML 104 & IL 3566

Thank you David and annelisec.

But any idea why Hong Kong Bank has two numbers?  One building? Two buildings?

Besides, also from the map's Building Guide:
French Bank Building: 134
Holland House: 134, 136
Mercantile Bank Building: 136

South China Morning Post Building: 190

Cheers,

I don't think there's any special reason. It was just a map from a local tourist guide. It looks as though they printed numbers first, then worried about names later. A couple of buildings even get three numbers!

My guess is that the numbers were for building entrances.

These buildings have more than one entrances, and one number:
General Post Office: 12
Supreme Court Building: 75
Central Market: 116

If you ask me, I really don't think there were two Hong Kong Bank buildings.  That's why I wonder there are two numbers.
