According to Swire records, it appears that the land on which Woodside was constructed was purchased by Swire at Public Auction  (Quarry Bay Inland Lot No. 13) on January 16 1922 which was purchased for $18,606.25 for a 75-year lease.  The two-story brick house with tile roof was constructed and occupied by June 1924 as Woodside No 1 and 2 sub-managers' houses.
