was where William Pedder, the first Harbourmaster, had his office. It was above Wyndham Street. 
his book Hong Kong Cavalcade, John Luff wrote: "Pedder built his  office on the rocks above a track which has since become Wyndham Street, and for many years the site was known as Pedder's Hill. "The harbourmaster's boat was tied up at the end of a wharf which extended to the deep water. Pedder's Wharf became a definite locality, and, as the old records show, several firms used it as a mailing address."

Hard to believe it now, but when this opened it stood on the seafront! The street in front, running along the water's edge, was (and still is) named Reclamation Street.

The street behind it took it's name from this building and was named Station Street (later renamed to Shanghai Street).
