On the right-hand side (I think its Prince's Building) a sign says CALDBECKMACGREGO(R). This was a Wine, Spirit and Beer Merchant from London who opened the Hong Kong branch in 1889. In 1908  the offices were at 15 Queen's Road (Source: Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other Treaty Ports of China), they could have moved to Prince's Building later or had another branch here.

Date picture taken (may be approximate):

'This was a Wine, Spirit and Beer Merchant from London who opened the Hong Kong branch in 1989.'

1989?  Do you mean 1899?

Breskvar, thanks for reading carefully. Of course, it's 1889! I have corrected the date.
