A couple of notes on the RTHK website suggest that the building was initially named 'Electra House', then later changed its name to 'Mercury House':

  • [The Lucky Dip show had to be moved from] RTHK's Concert Hall on the 6th floor of Mercury / Electra House to the City Hall Theatre across the road. More...
  • 1950. [RTHK] moved to Electra House as headquarters. More...

Electra House was completed in 1950.

The name change to Mercury House came later.
