Old District Office North, Colonial administrative building in Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
The Old District Office North features architectural elements from the early 1900s, with a symmetrical layout and colonial design characteristics at 20 Wan Tau Kok Lane.
Constructed in 1907, this structure functioned as the primary administrative center for the northern New Territories, managing land registration and local governance until the 1960s.
The building represents the intersection of British colonial administration and local Chinese community life, serving as both a government office and magistrate court.
The structure now operates as the Law Ting Pong Scout Centre, hosting activities for the Scout Association of Hong Kong's New Territories Eastern Region Headquarters.
The building earned monument status in 1981, preserving its original features while adapting its purpose from a government office to a community center.
