The Helena May main building, Declared monument in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
The Helena May main building exhibits Edwardian Classical Revival architecture with a three-story structure featuring open verandahs and Neo-classical columns at Garden Road.
Constructed in 1916 as a women's residence, the building served as Japanese military quarters during World War II and later as Royal Air Force headquarters until 1947.
The building originated as a dedicated space for expatriate women in Hong Kong, offering accommodation, library facilities, and social gathering spaces for the community.
Located at 35 Garden Road, the building maintains its original purpose as a private club with guest rooms, dining facilities, and a library for its members.
The entrance porch displays a segmental arched pediment decorated with floral motifs, supported by columns featuring distinct tasseled capitals.
