Old South Kowloon District Court

Old South Kowloon District Court, Grade I historic courthouse in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.

The Old South Kowloon District Court comprises two blocks on Gascoigne Road: a three-storey 1936 wing built on a slope, with Greek Doric columns and open verandahs on its second and third floors above a granite base, and a five-storey 1970s wing next door.

The building was constructed in 1933 by architect Richard McNeil Henderson as a courthouse for minor criminal cases. It later became a military headquarters during Japanese occupation before returning to judicial use.

The building's name changed with its function: opened as the Kowloon Magistracy, renamed South Kowloon District Court in 1957, and known as the South Kowloon Magistracy when it closed in 2000. The old wing, vacated in 1987, was once used to store court files before the Lands Tribunal moved in.

The building sits near several MTR stations in the Yau Ma Tei area, making it easily accessible by public transport. Note that parts of the structure may have restricted access due to ongoing judicial operations.

The 1936 three-storey wing, now the Lands Tribunal, has Greek Doric columns and open verandas on its second and third floors, while its ground floor is built of granite. The five-storey wing next door, opened in the 1970s, houses the Labour Tribunal.
