"To take a period piece out of its setting is like taking a word out of its context - it frequently destroys its meaning and the Georgian Mansion suffers the misfortune of being set amongst a group of strictly modern structures which lends it somewhat an air of incongruity. However, this is offset to a great extent by the fact that it is placed on a height within its own fairly extensive grounds and can be appreciated from certain angles free from disturbing influences. In spite of this and other minor faults, it is a fine building of which the owners and the architects can well be proud."
"The walls of the main rooms are gypsum plastered throughout, and all woodwork is of teak. All brickwork is jointed in cream cement."
From Hong Kong and Far East builder, Vol. 7, No. 5 (May & June 1949)
