Marble Hall, Early 20th-century residence at Conduit Road, Hong Kong.
Marble Hall is a two-story residence distinguished by imported European marble and fine wooden craftsmanship. The house features spacious gardens and a grand staircase finished with teak and mahogany.
The residence was built between 1901 and 1904 and initially belonged to Sir Catchick Paul Chater. After his death in 1926, it passed to the Hong Kong government.
The residence contained Sir Paul Chater's collection of porcelain and paintings, which he intended to become a public museum after his death.
The property sits on Conduit Road at an elevated location with views of the surrounding area. The gatehouse, still standing today, is protected as a Grade 2 historical building.
After 1926, the building served as Admiralty House for naval commanders and was occupied by Japanese forces during World War II. It was destroyed by fire in 1946.
