Mountain Lodge, the Peak

This site was for a summer residence for the Governor of Hong Kong since 1900. It replaced a former lodge situated slightly below. The earlier lodge was transformed from a sanatorium in 1867 and subsequently destroyed in two typhoons. The new lodge was first designed in 1892 by Francis Cooper, the Director of Public Works, but when Sir Henry Blake became Governor, he disliked the proposal and appointed Palmer & Turner for another design. By 1920, the Lodge was very little used and became deteriorated. It was demolished after World War II leaving only the granite foundations and the gate lodge. The whole site was opened as a park to the public. A marking stone for the Lodge was rediscovered in 1978 and since then placed at the NE corner of the former lodge grounds.
