#344 Ma Tau Wai Road, Tokwawan [????- ]

#16 San Lau Street﹐ Tokwawan [????- ]

Spotted the pillars of this one whlie on a 101 Bus.  Would have to go back to take a second look for the exact location.

Confirm the street number to be #16.  This house is only a partil one, I believe.  Only the ground floor and second floor looked genuine.  

#24 Mongkok Road, Mongkok [????- ]

This one had been fully re-modelled.  If it's not of the pillars I would have missed it when I walked by the footbridge right before it.

 

#75 Un Chau Street, Shamshuipo [????- ]

#142 Un Chau Street, Shamshuipo [????- ]

#454 Castle Peak Road, Cheung Sha Wan [????- ]

#3-5 Pennington Road, Causeway Bay - Tak Hing Pawn Shop on #3, IL 6650 [????- ]

I included this one despite it's lack of pillars.  Its staircase was made of wood alright.  If it's appearance is not the same as those Guangzhou style ones, it is just as old.  At least it is older than I am.  By the way, if you pay attention to the bronze plate when you walk by, you would recognize the same corporation operates at least four pawn shops on our list here.

Corner of Amoy Street & Queen's Road East [????- ]

These three had been marked as Government Property and I thought had been demolished together with the Lee Tung Street/Chun Yuen Street buildings.  Obviously one of the shops is still being used by some charity or local group selling used items and/or organic vegetables.  There is a guard post in one of the blocks.
