Interesting to note that these Shop Houses have just been on the news (19th Sep 2008) because the URA (Urban Renewal Authority) has announced a $1.3 Billion project to renovate them (as opposed to redevelop).
The houses currently have many ground floor shops that form part of the famous flower market. <Read more ...>
I think that location is about right. It's hidden away behind all the stalls on Ap Liu St, but I'm pretty sure it's on the south side of the road, on the block between the two MTR entrances. It was boarded up when I saw it, but has some original details that looked interesting.
There are a few examples along this part of Des Voeux Road, but these are the only ones I know the exact position of. These ones are in the need of some serious TLC.
