Archibald DAVID (aka Archie, but he rode under the pseudonym Mr. Knoll and also used Mr. Gilpin) [????-????]

Known to my family as Jockey Knoll, who won the Professional Cup for us on "Off Day" 23 February, 1922 on Charles Warren's most successful pony, Mosaic Tile, Archie David also owned the Knights Stable under the pseudonym Mr. Gilpin. His father had forbidden him to ride after he was badly injured while racing in Shanghai for the stable of his brother, Evelyn David. This was apparently the reason for his pseudonyms, but the subterfuge can't have lasted for long. He was a special juror in Hong Kong and a director of his father's company, S.J. David & Co. Ltd.

Historical records show that the building was built as the Gatekeeper’s Lodge (守衛室) of Marble Hall (雲石堂) which was the private residence of Sir Paul Chater (遮打爵士) (1846-1926), a Calcutta-born Armenian merchant of great wealth.

The building is clearly shown on the 1896 map.

Notes from 80sKid:

Reading the Legco accounts about Chatham Road there's a reference to Chater Bungalow being turned into a playground (at least some of it), though the answer given is somewhat unclear. I know Liz Chater mentioned it in a post about Sir Paul Chater, saying some of it was turned into a golf course. Does anyone know the location? There's only three references on google: here's the legco ref:
