This is an attempt to reconstruct the pre-war situation in Shek Tong Tsui where Kwan Yick Pase 1 buildings stand today.
Upper part shows a (rotated) part of the 1922 map with the respective lot numbers. The building on the left at Hill Road is the Kam Ling Hotel. Bottom right shows the damaged China Provident godown, and bottom left the Kam Ling Hotel and a tiny bit of the godowns visible left in the China Provident photo.
This is only one possible reconstruction, but it reflects the discussion to date.
