The tram terminus at Whitty Street (1978)

The tram terminus at Whitty Street is located in Shek Tong Tsui praya. In the early days, there were warehouses in this area, and next to the warehouses were barges for the loading and unloading of cargo. The painting on the left shows the condition in the early years. Nowadays, there are commercial buildings in this area. More land has been added by reclamation. The left-hand-side of the painting above shows the new headquarters of the Hong Kong Tramways (about 110,000 square feet) which was built on reclaimed land. It opened in 1989. The old headquarters of the Hong Kong Tramways in Wanchai was redeveloped into a 47-storey commercial building in 1993.
