Former Overseer’s Quarters of the Elliot Filter Beds.

When the Elliot water station was decommissioned in 1993, some buildings remained. The overseer’s quarters were modernised and are today part of the Hong Kong University Campus. It is now named Run Run Shaw Heritage House and houses the Hong Kong University Press. It is listed as a Grade 2 Historic Building. 

The annex on the left (the former servant's quarters) was probably modernised and rebuilt/enlarged.
