Blue House
The three stories house that can be seen at the end of the nullah is what we now call the Blue House. It has strong links to the martial art Hung Kuen. I've written an article about the history of the Blue House, especially in regards to the martiart practiced there. It can be read online here:

Hope you enjoy and find it usefull.
Not the Blue House
Hi, I don't think that's the Blue House, although it is a very similar style of building. If you look at the Blue House, it's set parallel to the nullah, whereas the four-storey building in this photo is at an angle.
I believe that the Blue house was built after this photo was taken.
Thanks for the extra information about the Blue House's history, I've added to the main page for the building:
