China Light and Power - CLP [1940- ]

The CLP building as seen today was originally a series of seperated buildings. Those in this picture were probably senior staff apartments. The present building is not ideal as a work place as natural light is blocked by the steep cliff at the back and the flyover with its attendent noise and traffic pollutiion at the front.
