Green House, Grade II historic shophouse in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

The Green House is a historic shophouse in Wan Chai that displays traditional Guangdong architectural features throughout its facade and structure. Inside, the building contains ground-floor retail and dining spaces alongside open areas used for public events and gatherings.

The site held a timber yard and boat-building yard before the Hong Kong Land Investment Company developed ten tenement houses here in two phases, the first completed between 1916 and 1922. In 2005 the Green House became the Urban Renewal Authority's first preservation project, and the Lands Department took over ownership in 2007. Renovation finished with the opening of the Comix Home Base on 18 July 2013.

The name Green House comes from the green paint applied to the Mallory Street facades after the government acquired the buildings. From 2013 to 2018 the site operated as Comix Home Base, hosting 545 exhibitions and events with over one million visitors in five years. Since its 2024 opening, the Museum of Hong Kong Literature occupies the whole third floor, about 2,000 square feet.

The building sits on Mallory Street with straightforward pedestrian access and clear entrances for visitors. Check ahead for current events and opening times, as the programming changes regularly throughout the year.

The ten houses were built in two phases, the first finished between 1916 and 1922, on a site that had held a timber yard and a boat building yard. The name Green House came only after the government took over the buildings and painted the Mallory Street facades green.
