Colonial Secretariat
I question whether there were "Central Government Offices" in 1910. This building was more likely referred to as the "Colonial Secretariat".
Re: Colonial Secretariat Building Foundation Stone
China Mail 27 August 1954
Workmen unearthed the foundation stone of the original building which had been demolished in 1954. A bronze plaque in florid characters indicated the foundation stone was laid on _?_th day of February, 1847 by Governor Davis with Major Aldrich, Commanding Royal Engineer in attendance.
