Bank of Canton

Submitted by schultie on Tue, 2017-11-07 06:42

I found this - undated - photo in the collection of my grandfather Pieter Marks (1893-1981) who worked for the Dutch India (more correct: East Indies) Commercial Bank, the Nederlandsch Indische Handelsbank, in their office in 8, Des Voeux Road. But as he subsequently (after 1928)  worked in that bank's Singapore office I'm not 100% sure this picture actually shows Hong Kong or Singapore instead. If the latter I'll obviously remove this upload again (I tried to find comarable pics on the internet but was not succesful until now).

Des Voeux Road with Alexandra Building approx. 1920s

(Incorrect) Title on Flickr: "Nathan Road in the old day".

Moddsey identified this as Des Voeux Road with the Alexandra Building on the left with A. S. Watsons and HK Cigar Store. Probably 1920s

Date set to 1925 as Bank of Canton is on this image.

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1925
Places shown in this photo: 
Alexandra Building (1st generation) [1904-1952]
Bank of Canton [1924-c.1966]
