On Flickr attributed to 1952, but comments say it was pre-war. Date set to 1940.
Believe there is a war department boundary stone right of the mailbox.

Re: Yee Tack Money Changer/Exchange
On the left is the signage of Yee Tack Money Changer. The money exchange resumed business in the same location after the war. I have recently seen a 1946 photo of this section of Haiphong Road with the building showing only two upper floors. It is very likely that war damage to the roof and topmost floor of the pre-war four-storey building has resulted in this building's appearance post-war.
Re: war damage
The loss of the fourth floor could have been caused by war damage. If one looks at Hong Kong-Kowloon-East TST & Chatham Road from 1947, it seems that the fourth floor is missing (unfortunately quite blurry).
