Eastern Terrace (東方台) was a residential street / area in Tin Hau mid-levels, stretching from Tin Hau Temple Road towards Dragon Terrace, parallel with Dragon Road, standing on Inland Lot 2411. It was also the name of a building later on.

The street was first demolished in the 1950s, the top part of it was rebranded as New Eastern Terrace, the lower half became separate buildings except Dragon Road 1 - 3 where it kept Eastern Terrace as its building name. 
The building was demolished in the late 1970s by the government for road works, ending Eastern Terrace name. 
It was built in the pre-war period by either developing new lands or demolishing squatters to build, the exact year or decade is hard to say but I guess the late 1920s would probably match. 

Eastern Terrace could be seen on HK street index 1938.

According to AI, Oriental Terrace was another English name for Eastern Terrace, but it didn't give any references.
