Introduction
The association was founded in 1879 at Upper Cross Street with financial assistance from Hoo Ah Kay, a well-known community leader from Whampoa district in Guangdong province. The association was relocated to New Bridge Road in 1917. The building is a hybrid of Neo-Classical and Art Deco styles which are popular with Chinese developers in the past who wanted to project a modern image. To the Chinese, New Bridge Road was colloquially referred to as Da Po Er Ma Lu, Mandarin for Greater Town's Second Road. The first road referred to in this instance was South Bridge Road.
