71 Peak Road
The white building in the centre of this photo is 71 Peak Road, previously known as 274 The Peak. The 1924 map gives names for almost all buildings but labels 274 The Peak as RBL 198, perhaps because it hadn't yet been built.
In the photo above its in the centre right to the right of the top of the Ho Tung Mansions Pagoda.
The next pic shows it survived until at least the late 60's.
