34-46 Des Voeux Road Central (first generation) [c.1865-c.1887]

Under nos. 34-46, several buildings are combined due to the lack of information. For the creation of this place the photo shown in the profile from 1885 was used as a basis.

In the east was a three-story building, possibly 34-38 DVRC (like it is today). Next is a two-storey Building, an empty space, and then another two-storey building. All three buildings were replaced by a four-storey building, 7 bays wide which was under construction 1888/89.

Guessed life span is c. 1865 - c.1887.

30-32 Des Voeux Road Central (first generation) [c.1865-c.1889]

Two-storey building on Des Voeux Road Central. In the second half of the 19th century it was located at the praya. For the creation of this place the photo shown in the profile from 1885 was used as a basis.

The lot was first sold in 1858 (source), so possibly the building was constructed in the mid 1860s. Around 1890, a new four-storey building replaced it.

Guessed life span is c. 1865 - c.1888.
