The Bungalow is indeed the building you identified on the map, with the "Bungalow Dam" above it. This was Dockyard staff accommodation too, with 2 - 3 single storey apartments all on one level. I don't know when or why it was built, but it was probably initially for senior executives similar to the 2 Kornhill buildings.
It was a long way up from Kings Rd, with no vehicular access [ditto Stanley Tce], but there were 2 or 3 sedan chairs waiting at the road, and the coolies were provided with accommodation on the spot by the Dockyard.

Bungalow Dam on 1952 map
For clarification, this reservoir was up the hill from The Bungalow - i.e above and to the south of it - and therefore is the smaller reservoir that appears below The Bungalow on the map.
