Designed by Palmer and Turner Architects,〔 the building was completed in 1924, the same year as its neighbours, the China Building () and the Queen's Theatre,〔("Queen's Theatre", cinematreasures.org )〕 and has always been let for commercial use. The building was originally owned by Mr. So Shek Chung, and passed to Mr. Ng Wah in 1926. In 1962 the property was sold to Tai Kee Leong Co. Ltd, owned by Fok Ying-tung.〔Hui, Desmond(2004). 'Selected Historic Buildings and Sites in Central District', P.112. The Antiquities and Monuments Office., Hong Kong. ISBN 962-7312-12-6〕 The building hosted the headquarters of Jebsen & Company from 1926 to 1992. This German import-export company was established in Hong Kong in 1895, since when it traded all kinds of foodstuffs and products in Asia, from duck feathers to the well-known Blue Girl beer.〔(Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce ) Retrieved 18 October 2009〕
