We found out this was a view from Penha Hill in Macau - any chance of changing the title?

The prominent house was the residence of the Macau Electric Company manager.

Pictures of it and a social occassion being held there used to be found via LIFE images searching  "Macau".

Google seems to have disabled access and removed or hidden the Macau images that were available.
