House at 62 Barker Road on the Peak in Hong Kong, Gustave Volckaert, 1948

Found this plan here. Its from an architecture journal (ABE Journal 5/14) and titled: China Papers: The architecture archives of the building company Crédit Foncier d’Extrême-Orient (1907-59).

The plan is by the Belgian architect Gustave Volkaert. Although its for 62 Barker Road (an address I could not find) it could be Epworth Loadge (although this 51 Barker Road).

Interesting find.  I too have never heard of No. 62 Barker Road.  Where might it have been, as Epworth Lodge is already at the very end of the road?

Crédit Foncier d’Extrême-Orient was involved in some big residential projects in Hong Kong.  I think a few of them were designed by Alfredo Alvares, who owned Arrowhead in Deep Water Bay.
