Looking South from area near the Third Street. The first building from the left (3-storey) was Fairlea Girls' School. In front of Fairlea was the house of Mow Fung. On the same horizon as Fairlea to its right was the Church Mission House, also known as St. Stephen's House. Next to the Mission House was Sunnyside (probably 2-storey), with its iconic verandah.

Centre building is back of Fairlea Girls School, to the left of it is the Church Missionary Society Mission House. Their chapel is hidden lower in the trees between the two buildings

The corner of Sunnyside can just be seen on the far left of the photo

Does anyone know what the houses below Fairlea are called?
