Buildings on I.L. 619 north-west of the junction with Zetland Street. Probably built at the same time as the neighbouring houses 24 / 26 / 28 / 30 / 32 Queen's Road Central [1862-1920]. Both blocks were separated by a narrow lane.

The houses stood a few years longer than their neighbours and were probably demolished around 1925-27. Follow-up buildings on their place were Kayamally Building [1928-????] and Tai Ping / 太平 Building [1929-????]

Update 2024-09-09: there were five houses (and not four as originally thought) - no. 14 added The building has 10 arches which would suggest that there were 5 houses. But, the 1901 map on hkmaps.hk gives only numbers 16-22 (=4).
