Official Residence of the Financial Secretary

Official Residence of the Financial Secretary, Official residence in Shouson Hill, Hong Kong.

The Official Residence of the Financial Secretary is a two-storey neo-Georgian house at 45 Shouson Hill Road, built in 1935 and listed as a Grade II historic building. It is an active government residence, so the interior is not open to the public and the house can only be seen from the street.

Built in 1935, the house was one of 25 Shouson Hill Village houses developed by Sir Shouson Chow with Tsai Chang of Dah Sun Company, and it served as Tsai Chang's private residence. In 1938 it was sold to Heinrich Corra, manager of L. Rondon and Co. Importers and Exporters. The Hong Kong government bought it in July 1947 for HK$68,000 and converted it into the Financial Secretary's residence; Sir Geoffrey Follows was the first occupant, and Donald Tsang became the first Chinese Financial Secretary to live there in 1995.

The Grade II historic building represents the intersection of colonial administrative heritage and modern Hong Kong governance structures.

Since the building functions as an active government residence, public visiting inside is not possible. You can view it from outside and explore the surrounding Shouson Hill area, one of Hong Kong's elevated residential neighborhoods.

The house was one of 25 Shouson Hill bungalows built by Sir Shouson Chow with Tsai Chang of Dah Sun Company, and it served as Tsai Chang's own private residence before merchant Heinrich Corra bought it. In July 1947 the Hong Kong government purchased it for HK$68,000.
