Main Building of the University of Hong Kong

It was built in the architectural style of Edwardian Baroque and designed by Alfred Bryer of Leigh & Orange and is of three storeys high.

[4] The Main Building was built with donations by Sir Hormusjee Naorojee Mody and construction began in 1910.

Parts of the building were badly looted after the fall of Hong Kong; the roof of the Great Hall was removed and the timber used as fuel.
