History

The Wheelock House [The current headquarters of Wheelock and Company Limited, controlling shareholder of The Wharf (Holdings) Limited, a major conglomerate in Hong Kong.] stands today on the site which once stood two previous generations of Jardine House, the headquarters for Jardine, Matheson & Co. The first Jardine House was probably built around 1841 after Jardine's successful bid for its lots on The Praya Central. In 1908, the second Jardine House was built [cite book|last = Ting |first = Joseph S.P.|coauthors = Wong Nai-kwan| title = City of Victoria| publisher = Urban Council of Hong Kong| date = September 1994 | location = Hong Kong| pages = 13, 29| id = ISBN 962-7039-31-4 ] . It was rebuilt in around 1956, and reborn in the early 1970s as Wheelock House.
