Position is approximate. It was demolished during the Japanese occupation as part of their expansion of Kai Tak.

Demolition date is approximate.

Completion date approximate. Both dates taken from the Offbeat Magazine article:

The Old Stanley Police Station (Chinese: 舊赤柱警署) was a police station constructed in 1859 in Stanley, Hong Kong Island. It is now the oldest remaining police station building in Hong Kong, and was declared a monument on 15 January 1984. Wikipedia

Demolition date is a guess, taken from:

No. 3 Police Station, situated in Queen's Road East, was built in 1847. It was vacated after 1905, and demolished subsequently. The former Wan Chai Post Office was built in its place.

The Mong Kok Police Station is currently at the "142, Prince Edward Road West" site (see http://gwulo.com/node/14850). I'm not sure if it moved straight there when this site was re-developed, or if it has been at any other sites in between.

Moddsey found this description of the Police Station:

1900 PWD Annual Report

A new Police Station was built on a site selected above the Cattle Depot on the road leading to Pokfulam and completed on 1 October 1900.

The previous Police Station in Kennedy Town (see http://gwulo.com/node/17695) had been converted for use as a hospital.

The position is approximate. It is marked on a 1924 map, but I'm not sure who ran it or what type of illnesses it treated. It may have been connected with the Tung Wah Plague Hospital, which was on the adjacent plot of land.
