Pedder Building [1924- ]

Submitted by 80sKid on Fri, 2010-03-05 15:45
Date Place completed: 
1924-01-01

Pedder Building (畢打行) was built in 1923 by the architectural firm of Palmer and Turner. In the pre-Second World War period, most tenants were foreign commercial firms with their headquarters or branches set up in Central. Most tenants evacuated before the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945), and consequently the Japanese and Chinese firms moved in. The building remained intact during the Occupation, and it has always functioned as a commercial building for shops and offices.

here's a great shot by hk man showing kennedy terrace and its survivors of 6-8 kennedy road.

comparing with this photo which the govt dates to 1890, the terrace and its railings look stil to bel the original. what do you think? Though I'm confused by the existence of the slope and building on the right

c.1963 View over Admiralty and Central towards Stonecutters Island

Submitted by David on Mon, 2009-12-21 22:50

I'm dating this at 1963 based on the presence of the Mandarin Hotel (opened in 1963), and the absence of the second-generation Z-shaped Blake Pier, which appeared around 1964. Corrections welcome!

In the lower-right of the photo is Admiralty district, undergoing major changes
