Hongkong Club & Queen Victoria's statue

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1915

I bought this in the UK last month. The back of the postcard says the publisher was Daibutsu, Hongkong.

Any estimates on a date?

The 1889 map shows it as projected, so the photo was taken after that. The statue is in place on a 1911 map,  so it could be before or after that.

UPDATE: Moddsey says sometime during the 1910's is most likely, " as the Legco (former supreme court) [visible on the right edge of the postcard] was built in 1912".

1950s Fred Evans' photos

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1959

Moddsey notes: "Edinburgh place. View of the Hong Kong Club, Prince's Building and the Queens's Building (present day Mandarin Hotel). Can see why the Star Ferry carparks were needed to be built in the middle of Central!"
