No. 23 Coombe Road
No. 23 Coombe Road is the designation of a historical building on Coombe Road, The Peak, Hong Kong. It was called Stonyhurst when first built in 1887, changed its name to Glen Iris and is now known as Carrick. It is one of the oldest surviving European houses on the Peak. It has been a Grade I Historic Building since 2011.
==History==
The house was designed as a private luxury house used for residential purpose. Its first owner was John Joseph Francis who purchased the plot of land on No. 23 Coombe Road in March 1886. In the following year he built his house and named it ‘Stonyhurst’, after Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, England, where he had been educated and afterwards intended to enter the Roman Catholic priesthood. It was built in the period when the Peak could boast of hardly more than a few houses. At the time the Peak Tramway was not yet open to the public. The Mid-Levels were then struggling to attract residents, May Road being but a footpath, and Caine Road considered fairly high up.
After Francis's death in 1901, No. 23 Coombe Road changed hands a number of times. Its owners were, in succession, J. J. Francis (1886–1901), The China Fire Insurance Co. Ltd., Ahmet Rumjahn (1903–10), J. J. B. (1910–18), D. V. Falcorner (1918–21), The Hongkong Electric Co. Ltd. (1921–76), Cavendish Property Development Ltd. (1976–93) and then Juli May Ltd. The house was renamed as ‘Glen Iris’ in 1919 until 1972/73 when it was renamed as ‘Carrick’ – a name that has been adopted since then.
