Connaught Road Houses between the Central Fire Station and the Harbour Office 1993

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1993

Cropped and enhanced from this photo on Flickr. (from October 1993)

Not all houses still visible from the harbour, the Harbour Office from around 1990 partly blocks the view onto Connaught Road. Therefore Nan Fung Tower is almost invisible.

Three houses built on Marine Lot53 (east). Were taken as a group because all three have arched balconies on second floor (no other houses have these). Probably built at the same time as the houses further east on reclaimed land, so 1905 was guessed.

Four houses built on Marine Lot 18, the address is 47-50 Connaught Road Central. Probably built at the same time as the houses further east on reclaimed land, so 1905 was guessed. These are the first houses west of Jubilee Street.

These four houses were grouped together because they are shorter compared to the other ones further west.
