Green House (Hong Kong)
Green House is a block of 10 tenement houses located in 1-11, Mallory Street and 6-12 Burrows Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It is named from the green colour painted on the external walls of the building. It is one of the few remaining ''tong-lau'' of the balcony type in Hong Kong. Because of its historic significance, the houses are listed as Grade II historic buildings.〔(List of Graded Historic Buildings in Hong Kong (as at 18 September 2009) )〕
==Historic Background==
The lot where the tenement house Is now standing was first owned by the American firm Messrs Burrows and Sons. It was later owned by Lawrence Mallory. A timber yard and boat building yard previously occupied the site; thereafter occupied by warehouses, timber and coal storage and several other small industries.〔( Revitalisation Projects:Mallory Street/Burrows Street Project )〕
Around 1905, Hong Kong Land Investment Company took possession and in the mid-1920s, the company developed 10 tenement houses.〔
In 2013, Green House became the first pure preservation cum revitalization project of the Urban Renewal Authority and officially opened on 18 July 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Project information on Mallory Street / Burrows Street )〕 It is now operated as the Comix Base by the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
