Zoom in.  Was Rustomjee's that big?

Between Rustomjee's and Dent that was Pedder Street right.

Where on that sketch would be Jardine Mattheson ? and Duddels and Hunt ?

Stables ? That was Rustomjee and Co. in the middle ? Why the word Stables ? Did they kept horses there at Rustomjee and Co.

Thanks for the clarification

Lots stables in Hong Kong at the time. Not sure what the horses look like. They could’ve been similar to the small Chinese ponies that were run for the race is it happy Valley
