No. 170 Yee Kuk Street

No. 170 Yee Kuk Street, Grade II historic tenement building in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

No. 170 Yee Kuk Street is a three-story tong lau with an arcade, built in 1913. Its upper floors have balconies, and the arcade's columns are in a plain Italian Tuscan style, forming a covered walkway for pedestrians. Each floor has a ceiling height of 4 meters, and the floor area decreases on higher levels, with a sloping rear design for ventilation and light.

No. 170 Yee Kuk Street was built in 1913 on a section of New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 39. Its ownership was registered in 1923, and in 1960 it was sold for HK$50,000 to a buyer surnamed Wong. The Suns bought it in 1977 and have run the Yick Ping picture-framing workshop on the ground floor since.

The ground floor has housed the Yick Ping Factory, a picture-framing and mounting workshop, since the Suns bought the building in 1977 and moved in above the shop. The whole facade is painted white with the red characters "一平" marking the business, a name a passer-by can read from the street.

The building sits in a busy area with good access to public transport and is surrounded by local markets and traditional shops. Since interiors may not always be open to the public, it works best to view the exterior architecture and preserved details from the street.

The building was bought in 1977 by Sun King-sun and his wife, who ran the Yick Ping Factory framing pictures and calligraphy on the ground floor. Because the couple owned the whole block, they painted the facade white with red characters for the shop name.
