Georgian Mansion - page 1 of 3

"On the heights of Mount Cameron, approached from Magazine Gap Cul-de-Sac, stands the "Georgian Mansion," a recently completed residential building designed by Messrs. Palmer & Turner for The China Engineers, Ltd.  This building deserves special study as it is one of the few buildings recently erected in Hong Kong which is designed according to a definite period style.  This style is characterised by its reliance upon classical traditions toned down and simplified to conform with the ideas and requirements of that period of English history known as the Georgian Era."
