Stone boundary wall [c.1908- ]

Submitted by LizB on Tue, 10/26/2021 - 19:54

According to the 2017 report cited below, the masonry boundary wall was built circa 1908 to enclose the Lai Chi Kok quarantine station (now the site of the Jao Tsung-I Academy). Remnants of the wall can still be found near the former Customs Sub-station/Guard house:

"The [Jao Tsung-I] Academy, with High, Middle and Low zones, was once surrounded by a whole granite stone wall. The stone walls one can find in the main and back entrance are those remained [sic]."

Sham Shui Po Customs Sub-station [c.1895- ]

Submitted by LizB on Tue, 10/26/2021 - 15:42

Used as a Customs Sub-station for only a short period, from September 1895 until April 1899. Subsequently used as a guard house for the Quarantine Station (ca 1910-12), and possibly also for Lai Chi Kok Prison (ca 1921-1937).
