沿堅尼地道興建的多間大宅之一。 這些歐式大宅大多在19世紀後期和20世紀初期建成。 這段期間灣仔發展迅速, 堅尼地道和海濱一帶已蓋滿樓宇。 1921年, 拖延多時的海旁東填海計劃終於落實, 灣仔才得以進一步發展。
One of many mansions built along Kennedy Road. These European-style terraces and mansions were mostly built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The period saw a rapid development of Wan Chai in which the area between Kennedy Raod and the waterfront was fully occupied. The next stage of development of Wanchai did not commence until 1921 whn the Praya East Reclamation Scheme finally got under way, after prolonged delay.

不同時期到訪香港的水手和士兵, 定必記得在圖中所見的灣仔唐樓列排的酒吧和紋身店。 這些樓宇建於1930年代初期, 灣仔填海計劃剛完成。 自此灣仔海傍由海傍東(莊士敦道)擴展至告士打道。 1960年代所進行的另一次填海工程吧海岸綫再向北推移。
Generations of sailors and soldiers visiting Hong Kong would doubtlessly remember Wan Chai with its rowsof bars and tattoo parlours operated in the tenements as seen in this photograph. All these buildings date back to the early 1930s after the completion of the Wan Chai Reclamation Scheme. which extended the waterfront from the old Praya East (Johnston Road) to Gloucester Road. Another major reclamation in teh 1960s pushed the coastline further northward.
