Places shown in this photo: 
The Peninsula Hotel [1927- ]
YMCA, TST (First generation) [1925-c.1990]
Kowloon Park - former site of Whitfield Barracks [????- ]

When Peninsula Hotel was built in 1928 by The Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotels, it must have been one of the most conspicuous presence at Tsim Sha Tsui.

The photo was taken in 1930, in front of the rail road along the sea shore, this building stood out at Tsim Sha Tsui. This is one of my favorite photo.

Kowloon Hospital [1925- ]

This pic was captioned by grandma Martha Staple as being Sisters Quarters but not where.  I found a google pic of Kowloon Hospital showing this to be still in existence as Block P of Kowloon Hosiptal in 2013 - I wonder if anyone knows if it is still there (tucked in among all the high rise buildings - the Kowloon website did say it might be redeveloped ... the pic is almost identical except in colour (of course) and with trees not present in my pic - the modern pic is copyright to Baycrest (?) but the link didn't work
