Duart - IL 141 [c.1845-c.1925]

The original house on this site. - Possibly 2 semi detached houses. Do not know the name or number.

Western half was demolished to build a terrace of 4 building, 7,9,11 & 13 Arbuthnot Road in the 1880s. Eastern half was demolished to build a mansion for Mr Choy Cheong (Source) of the Sincere company in the early 20th Century (1920s?)

I found one reference saying it was owned by Brazilian/Portuguese Royalty but its not clear if this was the house they were referring to. 

Magistracy Road and Arbuthnot Road

In the Friend of China and Hongkong Gazette released on 25 AUG 1842, the office of Mr Edward Francomb is said to having been located at 1 Magistracy Road. Yet, according to the 1845 map, the Edwards was located on Arbuthnot Road then.

I wonder if Magistracy Road was renamed to Arbuthnot Road between 1842 and 1845. It would be so nice if someone could prove me right.
