HEC quarters - Semi-detached building on land bounded by Electric Rd / Tin Chong St / King's Road [????-c.1959]

I think it stood roughly where the eastern end of Luen Wo Apartments and Nam Tin Building stand today. It was very close to the North Point power station, and @jjohnantonsmith notes it was "the duty engineer's quarters, where my father (Raymond Smith) and my mother (Pixie Smith) lived until his retirement in 1956; he cultivated the garden in front of the house."

There's a good view of it on map 1945.5 at http://www.hkmaps.hk/mapviewer.html - it was set at a different angle from the rest of the buildings in the area.
