Pedder Building [1924- ]

Submitted by 80sKid on Fri, 2010-03-05 15:45
Date Place completed: 
1924-01-01

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.

Previous place(s) at this location: 
General Post Office - Queen's Road at Pedder St - (2nd location) [1865-1921]
