Looking South towards Pok Fu Lam - Siemssen & Co House

From the China Mail dated 8th August 1868:

We are somewhat surprised that the very excellent set of photographs brought out by Mr. Floyd do not include some views from the neighbourhood of Lyeemoon pass, Stanley, and Aberdeen. A view from the Peak too on a clear day would surely repay the trouble. He has however given us some pleasing pieces from Pokfulam. Douglas Castle, before noticed, makes one, or rather three, of them, there being three photographs of that well-known building, No. 89 being the best of the three. Siemssen's Bungalow, No. 119; and Mr. Ruttonjee's House, No. 65, are views of a similar nature, and they all maintain the excellent character visible in the majority of Mr. Floyd's pictures

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Saturday, August 8, 1868

Great view! On a previous version of this photo you'd labelled it "Taken looking south towards JJ dos Remedios House FL 24". Do you think they are the same building? Maybe JJ Dos Remedios rented it out to Siemssen & Co?
