Former Kowloon British School, Declared monument in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.
The Victorian architecture of the Former Kowloon British School features red brick walls, arched windows, wide verandas, and high ceilings adapted for local weather conditions.
Opening in 1902 with funds from Sir Robert Ho Tung, this educational institution operated until 1940 when children evacuated Hong Kong during World War II.
The building represents the colonial education system of Hong Kong, serving as the first school constructed specifically for expatriate children in the region.
Visitors can join free guided tours every Friday from 3:45 PM to 5 PM, with a maximum capacity of 30 people per session.
The structure now houses the Antiquities and Monuments Office, which manages the preservation of historical buildings throughout Hong Kong.
