These three had been marked as Government Property and I thought had been demolished together with the Lee Tung Street/Chun Yuen Street buildings.

I wouldn't mind living in one of these copy cats, or even one of the original ones, provided I could afford it. With suitable acoustics material and the tall ceiling it would be great to match it with some valves amplifiers and planar speakers. <Read more ...>
