What happened to the old 1938 map with the U-shaped structure on 5 Duke Street before the X shaped Dutchy Height high rise apartment building was built on the same plot of land which held one 2 cars garage and a "mansion" with 2 wings which has an U shape on the diagram from 1938 or so...???

The U-shaped building can be seen on the 1956 map of Kowloon. Also 1938 Duke Street Map.

The building is where Mr. Jan's "home church" for the neighborhood kids was run at the 5 Duke Street "mansion" that Rev. Parker mentioned in his 1940 publication in Arizona Highways magazine.

The photo below shows the "sitting room" on the 2nd floor of the building.
