No. 2 Police Station / Salvation Army Building, Johnston Rd, Wanchai [1868-c.1962]

Today the 'Chung Wui Mansion' stands on the corner of Johnston and Wanchai Roads, but this used to be the site of the No. 2 Police Station. When it was built, it stood on the seafront. It seemed that was the preference, as when the new police station on Gloucester Road was built, it was on the seafront again.

Notes from Moddsey:

The current Wanchai Police Station (aka No. 2 Police Station) on Gloucester Road was occupied in 1932 after the completion of the Praya East Reclamation in 1929.

Also known as the the Old Tai Po Police Station. The Govt's development website reads:

"The old Police Station is a single-storey building constructed in 1899 shortly after the British leased the New Territories. It was the first police station and Police Headquarters in the New Territories and was rated by the Antiquities Advisory Board as a Grade II historical building. The Government is now considering different options for the adaptive re-use of the building."
