The German Club, Hong-Kong, 1872. 'The new building of the German Club at Hong-King is shown in our Illustration. It is of brick, in the Gothic style, but of a simple and quiet design. The architects were Messrs, Wilson and Salway. The interior comprises a concert-hall, 75 ft. long and 35 ft. wide, with a roof 35 ft. high, to accommodate 275 persons in the audience; a drawing-room, a dining-room, reading-room, and billiard-room, all of good dimensions. There is a stage for dramatic performances in the concert-hall. The building has been constructed in sixteen months, at a cost of 21,000 dollars. It is a great convenience to the German residents, and an ornament to the city of Victoria'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
