Hello,

 

I found recently a picture of a Hotel called American Hotel here in Hong Kong from the early 1910's.

Does anybody knows where this hotel was located, and have a bit more information about it. Thank you very much

best regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Please could you give us a link to the photo if its online, or post a copy here (here's how: http://gwulo.com/node/2076) to see if we can recognise the location?

Address; 2 Wyndham Street. Eastern corner of Wyndham St. and Queen's Road Central. Appears to have been a boarding house. Short-lived operation and went into bankruptcy.

Looks like it was in the old Club Germania building: http://gwulo.com/node/6118

Moddsey, please do you know which years it was in business?

Regards, David

From HKGRO and HKPL, between 1904 and 1905. I think another boarding house of a different name existed on the site thereafter.
