Broadwood Road came into being in 1915. It was a development of colonial-style houses, either bungalows or two-storey villas, on a ridge overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse.
Numbers 9 and 10 were 2-storey villas and were different from the rest because they were semi-detached. They were built in 1915-16 by C E Warren and Co Ltd.
These houses typically had several rooms with kitchen, two bathrooms and servants' quarters at the rear.

Belvedere 2
Nos. 9 and 10 Broadwood Road were known as Belvedere 1 and Belvedere 2 respectively. They were located in I.L. 1947 Section K. The original owner was Alfred Walters, chief engineer of Charles Baudouin steam ships. The two houses were bought by Wong Yee Chung in January 1920. Another name, Wo Kwung, appears as the rate payer in 1924, but by 1927-28 it was again Wong Yee Chung.
