St. John's Building (
History
In 1889, the Garden Road station for the Peak Tram opened. In 1935, a new lower terminus was built along with the St John's Apartments: a reinforced concrete building, with eight studio flats and a two-bedroom penthouse.[1] In 1964, the apartments were demolished and a modern 14-storey commercial and residential building was erected in its place.
This was in turn replaced by the current 22-storey building.[2] This building won the Silver Medal of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects in 1983.[1] It was designed by Kwan, Ng, Wong & Associates and built by Hip Hing Construction.[3]
