Stone House

Stone House, Historic stone house 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.

Built in the late 1940s of granite from the Diamond Hill quarry, the Stone House stood on land bought in 1947 by Yang Shou-ren, who named it Tai Koon Yuen after the mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber. Owned by Wu Jun-zhao, ex-manager of the Shanghai Bank of Communications, it was rented to actor Roy Chiao in the 1950s and 1960s. Tai Hom village was demolished in 2001; the house was graded III in 2002, downgraded to no grading in 2010, and moved to the Diamond Hill water park.

The name Tai Koon Yuen, given by land buyer Yang Shou-ren in 1947, comes from the mansion in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber. Film studios such as Dai Guan and Jian Cheng set up nearby, and two-storey stone houses like this one housed artists and filmmakers. The Stone House now holds an exhibition area presenting the history of Tai Hom Village.

The Stone House no longer stands at its original 4 Tai Koon Yuen site: it has been relocated to the Diamond Hill Water Garden, a park next to the public housing estates, where an exhibition area inside presents the history of Tai Hom village. The park was still under construction in 2024, so check before visiting.

The Stone House is one of the three "Treasures of Tai Hom Village"; the other two, the Former RAF Hangar and the Old Pillbox, had to be removed for the Sha Tin to Central Link depot, leaving it the only one untouched. It now stands relocated in the Diamond Hill water park, where an exhibition area inside presents Tai Hom village's history.
