This rather large two-storey stone house appears on photos posted by chinarail and myself at the New Kowloon City Road, north-east of the cut through the slope of Sacred Hill. It seems to be at or just beyond the old boundary between Kowloon and the New Territories. I think it can be located on the 1920 map on hkmaps.hk. It should have been just north-east of the Kowloon City Roundabout. Built around 1900, surely demolished.
Update 2020-04-26: It can also be seen on the 1920 Gwulo map!
Update 2031-05-01: Already on the 1903 map on Gwulo.
