Project Overview

Kom Tong Hall is a historic building in Mid-Levels, Central. It was accorded a Grade I historic building status in 2009 by the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) and was later declared a monument in 2010.

The Hall was built in 1914 and was named after the former owner of the mansion, Ho Kom-tong, who was a younger brother of the prominent philanthropist Sir Robert Ho Tung. The Ho family was the first Chinese family permitted to live in the Mid-Levels in the early colonial period.
