Thanks to the reader who sent in this map to help identify old buildings in Central:

You can make use of this map from mid-1960s for reference. I think it is taken off a US Serviceman's Guide to Hong Kong.

I'll add these places over time. If there are any of these old buildings that you are interested in, feel free to create a place for them first.

Regards, David
