In August 1945 (!) the restaurant opened again. In 1975, the restaurant closed because the China Building was about to be demolished and moved to Wyndham Street.

House was supposedly originally occupied by Mr Paul Chater
Location is approximate.
Pedder Building (畢打行) was built in 1923 by the architectural firm of Palmer and Turner. In the pre-Second World War period, most tenants were foreign commercial firms with their headquarters or branches set up in Central. Most tenants evacuated before the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945), and consequently the Japanese and Chinese firms moved in. The building remained intact during the Occupation, and it has always functioned as a commercial building for shops and offices.
