Orange House, Tenement house in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.

The Orange House is a four-storey tong lau at odd-numbered 8 King Sing Street in Wan Chai, not on Stone Nullah Lane. It was built in 1958 and originally had no name; the government later painted its facade light orange, giving it the name Orange House.

The Orange House was built in 1958 as a four-storey tong lau at 8 King Sing Street, Wan Chai, and originally had no name. After the government resumed the building, it painted the facade pale orange, which gave the house its current name. Because it was less than 50 years old, the Antiquities and Monuments Office did not grade it, and in 2006 the government considered demolishing it. In 2007 it was included in the Blue House Cluster for joint development, and on 30 April 2009 the Lands Department announced the resumption of private land ownership on Stone Nullah Lane, Hing Wan Street and King Sing Street under the Lands Resumption Ordinance for an urban renewal project by the Urban Renewal Authority with the Hong Kong Housing Society and the government.

The building had no name of its own; it became "Orange House" only after the government recovered it and painted its facade pale orange. It is one of the coloured houses of the Blue House Cluster, alongside the Blue House on Stone Nullah Lane and the Yellow House on Hing Wan Street.

The Orange House stands at odd-numbered 8 King Sing Street, not on Stone Nullah Lane; the Blue House is on Stone Nullah Lane and the Yellow House on Hing Wan Street. In April 2009 the Land Acquisition Ordinance was invoked to resume private lots on Stone Nullah Lane, Hing Wan Street and King Sing Street for the Urban Renewal Authority scheme with the Hong Kong Housing Society.

The building had no name of its own; it became "Orange House" only after the government took it back and painted the facade pale orange. In 2006 the government once planned to demolish it, but in 2007 it was folded into the Blue House Cluster for joint development.
