Main
Building, the Helena May
35 Garden Road, Central
Completed in 1916, the Helena May was the brainchild of Lady May,
wife of the Governor of Hong Kong from 1912 to 1919. Intended as
a hostel for working women of moderate means, today it provides
accommodation for women of all nationalities and is conveniently
located opposite the US Consulate. Of particular interest is the
exquisitely decorated entrance porch that is flanked on either side
by two neoclassical columns, adding to the Baroque-Rococo look of
the building. (Not open to the public.) |
