Mei Ho House : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mei Ho House
Mei Ho House (美荷樓), formerly part of Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong, is the last remaining example of a "Mark II" building in a single-block configuration. While the other buildings of the estate dating from the 1950s have been demolished, being replaced by new ones, Mei Ho House was chosen to be preserved. ==History==
After a devastating fire in December 1953 that left thousands homeless, the Colonial government built a 29-block resettlement estate on the site of the burnt-down shanties to house the homeless victims. Eight blocks (Blocks A to H), later renumbered as Blocks 10 through 13 and 35 through to 41, were constructed with the financial aid of the United Nations (Mei Ho House is Block H, later Block 41). These 7-storey blocks were constructed in an 'H' configuration consisting of 2 residential wings, with communal sanitary facilities linking them. During the Hong Kong 1956 riots, the building was used as one of the bases for the rioters.
