注文 The Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation (Huifeng Yinhang): a four-storeyed building in Renaissance style with a large semi-circular terrace on the main entrance. It was built in 1865 in Shanghai and had a branch in Hong Kong too. It became one of the most important bank in Asia; due to its expansion, in the early 1920's it was pull down to build the new building, which opened its doors in 1923. The first building of the Imperial Maritime Customs was erected in 1857. It was in the form of a Chinese temple and was characteristic of the yamens (imperial offices) built at that time. The building was demolished in 1891 and a new Customs House was built. It was a brick building with a centrally placed five-story clock tower (33 m). Its red brick wall with facings of green stone were reminiscent of a British town hall in the Tudor style. Eventually, a new building was erected in 1925-1927, also with a clock-tower. When the latter was demolished, the old clock "Big Ben" was put into the present tower. (Fletcher, 1987, 1239)
