Stele on Hollywood Road near the junction with Aberdeen Street. Bears the following text:
On 26 April 1884, the ceremony to lay the foundation stone of the new premises of the Government Central School at the Junction of Aberdeen Street and Hollywood Road was presided over by the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir George Ferguson Bowen. Dr Sun Yat-sen had just enrolled at the school, and it is thought likely that he attended the ceremony. The school moved to the new site in 1889, when it was renamed Victoria College; it changed its name to Queen's College in 1894.

another artifact on Hollywood Road
This artwork is part of the Dr Sun Yat Sen Historical Trail, current generation. It is not easy to realize it is kind of 'flicker pictures', only after I try with different street views.
Walk on bit further, at 75 Hollywood Road, accidental visitors would miss one more spot easily, which is another artistic artifact. Guess how it looks ?
That is for spot #11. Previously there used to be some distinct information plates on the open space of the pavement. Photo from c.2006 is like this :
A later information plate, spot #11 of the Dr Sun Historical Trail, To Tsai Church (photo) was put around 69 to 75 Hollywood Road also, photo by some Japanese visitor c.2008.
