Beaconsfield House, Government building in Central district, Hong Kong.
Beaconsfield House was a six-story office building located at Queen's Road in Hong Kong's Central district, designed with functional architecture and a central elevator system. The structure featured a pedestrian bridge that connected it to both Queen's Road and Battery Path for easy access.
The building was constructed in 1963 on a site where a rocky hill had been leveled in 1841 during Hong Kong's early colonial development. It remained in use until its demolition in 1995 to make way for new commercial development.
The Information Services Department operated from Beaconsfield House, making it a central location for media relations and government communications in Hong Kong.
The building was located at a convenient intersection point with direct access from two different street levels. Visitors could navigate the site easily thanks to the pedestrian bridge that accommodated the steep terrain of this district.
The building housed multiple government departments, military facilities, and postal services all within the same structure. Its replacement by a major commercial complex represented a pivotal shift in Central's transformation into a modern financial hub.
