I think the buildings, 5 in total, are on Austin Avenue. The 1913 PWD Report under heading no. 139 gives No. 1-5 Aimai Villas as being on Austin Avenue. KIL 1172 is given. The triangular junction on the right is where Austin Avenue meets up with Kimberley Road.

The Kowloon branch of the Helena May Institute opened at No. 8 Aimai Villas, Austin Road (Avenue) on 24 January 1930. China Mail 25 January 1930 refers.
