Hongkong Club & Queen Victoria's statue

Submitted by David on Fri, 2008-09-05 12:06
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1915
Places shown in this photo: 
Supreme Court Building / Legislative Council Building [1910- ]
Hong Kong Club Building (2nd Generation) [1897-1981]
Queen Victoria's statue (original location) [1896-1944]
Victoria Recreation Club, Central [1908-1954]

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".
