Introduction

The building was built in 1903 by the Municipal Council as the administration centre for rickshaws, a form of transportation imported from Japan via Shanghai in the 1880s. It is of the Edwardian style, where the exposed brickwork is contrasted with white plaster moulding. Look out for the crest of the Municipal Council at the front of the building, featuring a lion standing on an island with a palm tree.
