Nos. 177-179 Prince Edward Road West, Pre-war shophouse in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.

The four-story semi-detached structure features Art Deco ornamentation, decorative balustrades, and a stepped gable with draped curtain designs on Prince Edward Road West.

Built in 1937, the building emerged during a period when wealthy refugees from mainland China moved to Hong Kong due to political instability.

The interior layout, with separate servants' quarters and front living blocks, demonstrates the social structure and class distinctions of 1930s Hong Kong society.

The building contains four residential units with a total area of 2,194 square feet and provides direct access to Prince Edward MTR station.

French doors open to deep verandahs on each floor, while folding doors between rooms create adaptable living spaces with natural ventilation systems.
