"Also known as the “Clerks’ Quarters”, the Staff Quarters of the Old Tai Po District Office (North) (舊北區理民府職員宿舍 ) at No. 20 Wan Tau Kok Lane (運頭角里) at the foot of Flagstaff Hill (旗杆山) was built from 1921 to 1922. After taking control of the New Territories in 1899, the British Government established its administrative centre for the area at Flagstaff Hill, and a cluster of important government buildings was erected on the hill and in its vicinity, including the Old Tai Po Police Station (舊大埔警署, declared monument), which was constructed towards the top of the hill in 1899, the Old District Office (North) (舊 北 區理民府, declared monument), which was built at the top of the hill around 1907, Island House, which was built at Yuen Chau Tsai (前政務司官邸 , declared monument) in 1906, and the Old Police Bungalow (舊警察宿舍, Grade 2), which was built on the opposite hill in 1909. The tender for the construction of the Clerks’ Quarters to the southeast of the original quarters was closed on 6 September 1921 and the contract was awarded to Yeung Fat (楊發, 1856–1938) later the same year. The foundation works were finished and the brickwork commenced by the end of 1921. Construction was completed in 1922.
Comprising five units and marked “District Office Quarters” on maps from 1962, 1966 and 1970, the building was used as staff quarters until the early 1970s."
