Stone House, Stone residential building in Diamond Hill, Wong Tai Sin District, Hong Kong

The Stone House stands at Number 4 Tai Koon Yuen, constructed with granite materials from the Diamond Hill Stone Quarry in the late 1940s.

Wu Jun-zhao, former manager of Shanghai Bank of Communications, owned this residence and leased it to actor Roy Chiao during the 1950s and 1960s.

The property represents one of three remaining structures from the former Tai Hom squatter village, where multiple film studios operated in the mid-twentieth century.

The Stone House received Grade III historic building status in 2002 before its classification changed to No Grading in 2010 during area redevelopment plans.

Government plans approved in 2015 include relocating the structure to a water park development within new public housing estates in Tai Hom.
