In use
Date completed
At the southern end of Po Yan Street is this building. I've often noticed it from Bonham Road:
It has a sloping, tiled roof, and you don't see many of them around.
Here's the view looking down Rutter Street:
And a close-up of the granite slab above the door, that gives an idea of the date it was built:
If you know what it was / is used for, please let us know in the comments below.

Hi David,
I believe this was one of the 義莊 Yi Chong for storage of coffins and urns.

Thanks Thomas.
I noticed there are still several shops selling coffins in the streets around there.

Re: Tung Wah 1919 building
Hi David,
I remember one of those funeral service stores is still in Hollywood Road, just about a block or two away from Tung Wah Hospital. One more along Square Street, close to Man Mo Temple.
