Back to 4 Moreton Terrace

As more information became available I began to compare maps with land records and newspaper items and even real estate ads. I’ve also found a couple of old photos. The timespan is fairly long but the property is identifiable throughout. 

The Moreton Terrace property was situated on IL 1580 adjacent to the Kennedy Stables across from the Recreation Grounds at Causeway Bay.

On the map below I’ve indicated the location of the property in red.

Below is a photo that gives a fairly good view of the area and the location of Moreton Terrace ( marked in yellow ) can be seen quite clearly in relation to the recreation grounds. The picture is from 1920 so the buildings shown should accurately depict the property as it was under the Kot Choy ownership.

Lastly is an item from the South China Morning Post of 1938 that makes a reference to the Moreton Terrace property ( 1913 ). I use this clipping simply as an attestation to the validity of the property’s existence.
