Gloucester Building

On New Years Day 1926, a large portion of the old Hong Kong Hotel (the part on Des Voeux Road Central & Pedder Street corner) was completely gutted by fire. Hongkong Land purchased the site in 1928 for $1,375,000 and developed Gloucester Building which was completed in 1932, a few years later the Hotel section was fomally named Gloucester Hotel. Gloucester Building was the first mixed-use building in Central, on the lower two levels were shops with internal arcades. Offices occupied the middle two floors and a small hotel, the top five floors.

1930s Arsenal Street - Retention of Single Blue Building

I think this is Arsenal Street and looking at the westernmost Blue Building that is yet to be demolished. The tram tracks have not been realigned.

1936 Hennessy Road

In the photo, the new Sailors' and Soldiers' Home is out of sight but is next to the building on the right. The tram tracks have yet to be realigned and make a slight curvature to the right. If the year of the photo is correct, the westernmost Blue Building as seen here is yet to be demolished.
