Man Yuen Garden is located at 52 Kennedy Road (52A, 52B). It was formed by the merger of 50 and 52 Kennedy Road. Its original building was demolished in the 1960s, and today's Man Yuen Garden was built on the original site in 1963. Does anyone have old photos of this place from the 1940s to the early 1960s (before it was demolished)? Welcome to leave a message, thank you very much.
It should be noted that the old photo I am looking for is of the original No. 52 Kennedy Road, which is now 52B Kennedy Road.

St. Francis' Canossian College
Opposite the Man Yuen Garden is the St. Francis' Canossian College. I wonder if there are any old photos taken from the perspective of the college.
St. Francis' Canossian College 1950s
Can anyone tell me, according this old photo from the 1950s of the St Francis' Canossian College, can identify the orientation of the main door? Are there any changes compared to the current SFCC building? And can identify the location of 52 Kennedy Road?
Re: 52 Kennedy Road
Behind the SFCC school building (photo above) on the extreme left is a greyish building at 58-60 Kennedy Road (replaced by today's Sakura Court), then a white building with a centre dome at 54-56 Kennedy Road (replaced by today's Ewan Court, misspelt sometimes as Evan Court on maps) and a partially obscured building at extreme right at 50-52 Kennedy Road (replaced by today's Man Yuen Garden).
Suggest to view the photos of 58-60 Kennedy Road for the older buildings mentioned. Example in the photo below.
The building on a platform above 50-52 Kennedy Road is 48 Kennedy Road (Ching Ho Villa as named in the 1938 Street Index). Today, Monticello is sited at 48 Kennedy Road.

Thank you very much for…
Thank you very much for clarifying my doubts. It not only helps to open my horizons and expand my ideas, but also is of great help to my current research. Also, I would like to ask, is it possible to check out old photos by going to the Hong Kong Land Registry? Online searches can only reveal textual information such as ownership and transaction status, or is there any organization that might preserve old photos of 52 Kennedy road? Once again express my sincere thanks to you.
Re: Hong Kong Land Registry
Have not been to the Land Registry. I don't think they hold old photos. Other contributors may be able to supplement.
