Originally attributed to 1914, but the building is finished and the date is more likely end of 1915. Date adjusted.

Railway connection to the Kowloon Wharves under construction. Likely these track opened at the same time when the terminus opened.

Text on Flickr:

This house stood in the district of Tsim Cha Tsui, Kowloon, on Chatham Road S., between Prat Ave. and Cameron Rd. View is north, with the Gun Club Barracks in the distance. Marie-Félicité, "Bigsis" and her Amah (Nanny) greet a passerby who looks a lot like Jules. More likely they're seeing him off to work.
