Marble Hall, Early 20th-century residence at Conduit Road, Hong Kong.

The two-story Marble Hall residence featured imported European marble, extensive gardens, and a grand staircase with teak and mahogany finishes.

Constructed between 1901 and 1904, the mansion belonged to Sir Catchick Paul Chater until 1926, when he bequeathed it 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.

Located 500 feet above sea level, the property included a gatehouse that remains standing today as a Grade 2 classified historical structure.

The mansion served as Admiralty House for naval commanders until World War II, when Japanese forces occupied it before its accidental burning in 1946.
