Similar to the houses between the General Post Office and the Central Fire Station, there are more houses between the Central Fire Station and the Harbour Office that appear on many photos, simply because they were at the waterfront for some 60 years.

To get an impression about the buildings here is a map together with a photo (cropped from Hong Kong from the Harbour.jpg) from around 1930.

Philip and Sylvia Harding Klimanek in Jessfield Park, Shanghai, ca. 1933

Submitted by Charles in Shanghai on Sun, 2022-01-23 15:59

Philip Harding Klimanek (1883-1965) was born in the Czech Republic, at the time his place of birth was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In ca. 1905 he started to work for Holland-China Trading Company, in Hong Kong.

In 1939, when Charles Gesner van der Voort arrived in Shanghai to work for the company, he was Charles' superior. In a letter home he wrote: "Played chess with Klimanek in the French Club" [translation Pieter Lommerse, the French Club was Le Cercle Sportif Français, a fashionable place to be in the 1930s and it still exists today].
