Go Wah Mansion (高華大廈) is situated at No. 285-295A Lockhart Road in Wanchai. 

The occupation permit of Go Wah Mansion was issued in 1964. The ground floor and the first floor is for commercial use while the 13 stories above is for residential use. This photo was taken on the roof of Go Wah Mansion most likely in the late 1960s. In this photo, you can see the then western and northern part of Wanchai as well as a part of the Victoria Harbour.
