Sincere Company circa 1906

The image purportedly shows the company's store at 172 QRC following a typhoon in 1906.

Edit: the address seems unlikely given the comment below regarding the "Kinshan" sign in view.

The current building at the same location is similar (in that it's a shophouse with pavement columns) but doesn't appear to match the one in the image. So it seems that the current building on the site was not the one used by the company.

I think this photo shows their premises on Connaught Road, see https://gwulo.com/node/59723

I can see a sign 'Kinshan' on the pile of rubble in the foreground, and also a round window. Kinshan was one of the ferries. Here's what I believe is the same pile of rubble seen from the opposite direction, that shows a similar circular window in the other pier building that is still standing.
