Old Central Government Offices

Old Central Government Offices

The old Central Government Office was home to many of Hong Kong Government's departments from 1847 to 1954. Built in 1847 as the Secretriat Building[citation needed], it was also home to the territory's Legislative Council from the 1930s to 1954.

The two-storey colonial building was demolished in 1954 to make way for the new Central Government Offices.
