Broadwood Road came into being in 1915. Like the other houses built along Broadwood Road at this time, either bungalows or two-storey, #13 was an elegant two-storey colonial-style house built in that year. There was a zig-zag path that led down to Broadwood Road half way down the picture. Because it was built on a ridge it had fine views not only to the front and rear of the house (Happy Valley and So Kon Po Valley), but because of the extra floor, views north to Kowloon. In fact amazing 360 views. (It had bungalows either side at 12 and 14). Looking at the full picture from the Hedda Morrison original will give an idea of the views.
