International Funeral Parlour 萬國殯儀館

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1955

Screen capture from the 1955 film Flight to Hong Kong. This wasn't a particularly important location for this film, just one of the many brief glimpses that were filmed to establish various scenes. In the film, this is supposed to be in Macau.

The main entrance was on the north east corner of the intersection. So the section of the facade on the left of the image faces Fenwick Street. The site later had the East Town Theatre and now has the East Town Building.

International Funeral Parlour 萬國殯儀館 - original location [1951-1963]

Date Place completed: 
c.1951-01-01 (Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1963-12-31 (Month, Day are approximate)

The International Funeral Parlour (萬國殯儀館) in Hung Hom was originally located on the corner of Lockhart Road and Fenwick Street. Appears to have been demolished in the early 1960s. It was replaced by the East Town Theatre.

I've added an opening year of 1951 thanks to Jimmy's comment below, and have set a tentative demolition year as 1963 because the East Town Theatre that replaced it opened in early 1964.
