95 Blue Pool Road [c.1947-c.1972]

Date Place completed: 
c.1947-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1972-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Residential Building on I.L. 6453. Inland lots in the 6000s were sold in 1940, so probably this house was built either just before or (likely) shortly after WW2.

Likely it was occupied by the families of army officers.

The house was demolished around 1970-72. It was replaced by Sunrise Court (date of first occupation 1973.11.10), a faceless building compared to its predecessor. 

Blue Pool Road Massacre

I came across a link to a story about the Blue Pool Road Massacre. http://eagle878.blogspot.ca/2015/01/blue-pool-road-massacre-hong-kong-dec.html written by Lam Kwok-Fu.  This is identical to the descriptions given by our family members.
