Kingsclere / Kingsclere Hotel - Kennedy Road - IL 1381 [c.1901-1924]

This is the second "Kingsclere" in Hong Kong - both owned by ER Belilos.  The original Kingsclere's address was 13 Caine Rd.

Belilios originally intended the Kennedy Road as a Synagogue.  However, there was some to-do with the Trustees, (Belilios wanted a road to the upper part of the property to build on, and the Trustees said no.  ER took some legal action) and it was not built.  

In 1896, the Kennedy Road lot was put up for auction.  An extention was requested in 1898, and a lease issued in 1904.
