This is an interesting looking building. I wonder if it was built as a school, or originally used for something else?

It's a buddhist school, connected to the Po Kok school on Shan Kwong Road.

These premises were originally a villa which was built by a philanthropist Tang King Po in 1920s. The villa was donated by Ms Tang Kwai-yuk, daughter of Mr Tang King-po to the Tung Lin Kok Yuen as its school campus in 1950s .

Is it still standing today? That would make it around 90 years old, and definitely one of the historic buildings of the area.
