Hi There,
The current building (Everwin Mansion) was completed in 1962. Likely the one in the photo was one of those shop houses that could be seen in other older photos.

I had the marker too far east. After moving it over to the right location, between Landale and Li Chit Streets, I see that #10 was on the site of the current Man Hee Mansion. But Man Hee Mansion was also completed in 1965, so no big change.
