Nam Koo Terrace 南固台 #55 Ship Street (IL 2140) [c.1918- ]
HopeWell mentioned in the redevelopment plan of Ship Street that they would restore Nam Goo Terrace to be the club house of the new estate. No idea of the state of the building thus I have marked it N/A as for the time being. HopeWell may have amended the plan already though.
