The next shot is actually a few metres back up the road from the last one, outside the Casa Memorial do Dr. Sun Yat Sen. We don't get to see that particular building in the shot though, only the outer wall at the extreme left of the image. What we can see is the old building that used to stand on the plot between Rua de Silva Mendes, Avenida de Sidónio Pais, and Rua de António Basto. I don't know anything about this building, but I do know that in its place today is a 6-storey mid-rise residential building called "Edifício Hou On".
The development around this area is marked and you can contrast the currrent view by looking at the current Streetview version here. The building in the right background of the lower two images is the "Jardim de Infância D. José da Costa Nunes". However, the view of the old buildingis now blocked by a new school annex. About the only thing to have remained unchanged over all these years is the external wall of the aforementioned memorial house of Dr Sun Yat Sen. If you look closely in image one (left hand side of the dark car in image 1) you can see some white bricks in the wall that are still there today.
