re: BEA
is that Old Henry House next to it then? (versus current New Henry House)
Henrys, old & new
The current New Henry House runs from Des Voeux Rd about two thirds of the way up Ice House Street. The block is about the same size & shape as the Bank of East Asia's next door.
This map from the mid-60s shows the block was split in tw:
The half near Des Voeux Road we can see in this photo was Kwok Man House. The other half, mid-way along Ice House Street, was called Henry House.
