Demolished / No longer exists
European House 4A was built quite a bit later than the main building phase on Cheung Chau 1908-1915. It does not appear in the 1924 aerial photo, so it was probably built between 1925-32. It appears in the Juror Lists in 1933 under the ownership of Paul England Barker, who worked for Gibb Livingston & Co.
The house was still in use in 1963 as evidenced by the HK Maps aerial photograph of that year.
It was built in Kwun Yam lower down the hill to the south of House 4, opposite House 4B, and it looks to have been similar in style to the other European houses, a south-facing bungalow constructed of locally quarried granite blocks, with a flat reinforced concrete roof.
Today the site is occupied by Block 1 of the 3 blocks of Herald Court.
