Alexndra Building
This was the triangular western part of the site owned by Hongkong Land, whose original leases date from October 1904. The Chater Road section was let to various shops from time to time, and the des Voeux Road side was let for many years by A.S. Watson & Co, to Komor & Komor and to the HK Stock Exchange. The building was later demolished in the 1950's in favour of a 13 level block Alexandra House and completed in 1956.

Great photos!
Thanks for these photos of the area - they're new to me.
A couple of tips - we have a "Place" page for each of the major buildings in Hong Kong, eg the page for this building is https://gwulo.com/node/3995 If you have information about the building it's best to write it there, as it keeps it all together and means you only need write it once instead of on each photo.
Then you can link the photo to the Place (here's how: https://gwulo.com/node/37329) so readers can click through to the Place for mor information. It also automatically groups all photos of that building onto a single page, eg: https://gwulo.com/node/3995/photos, which makes them easier to find in future.
