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.

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.
