Stone House, Stone residential building in Diamond Hill, Wong Tai Sin District, Hong Kong
Stone House is a residential building in Wong Tai Sin District constructed from locally quarried granite during the late 1940s. The structure demonstrates construction techniques from that era with its solid granite walls and period layout.
The building rose in the years following World War II when this district expanded rapidly with incoming residents. It persisted through decades of urban change as newer structures replaced much of its surroundings.
The house was home to artists and film industry workers who shaped this neighborhood's character mid-century. It reflects how residents lived closely together in informal urban communities during that creative period.
The site sits within an older residential neighborhood accessible on foot through the local streets and lanes. You can view the exterior from street level and walk around the surrounding area to experience the historic district's layout and scale.
The granite used for this structure came from a quarry that once operated where the neighborhood expanded around it. The same source supplied many other buildings nearby, making it part of a larger local construction movement.
