Weiße Fracht für Hongkong - Dietmar Schönherr (1963) - #2 University Drive, Hong Kong University

The second additional post for Weiße Fracht für Hongkong is one that I really should have got earlier because the nearby University Lodge was also featured in the film. Here is the reminder of that location. I don't really know much about this place at all other than where it is, so perhaps there are some HKU alumni who can fill in the details. I understand it was built in the 1950s and was originally accommodation for University staff members, but I have no idea if it remains as such, or even if it is still around. I will head over there to check it out for myself at some point. Until then  here is the car park/ground floor area of the building, with an unimpeded view of the harbour, as it appears on film in 1963.

At one point Horst Frank drives his car into a rather stylish house that is supposed to an orphanage. In reality it was University Lodge situated at the junction between University Drive an Kotewall Road.

Note the large gun

The house - the residence for the Vice-Chancellor of HKU - is built on the former site of Victoria Battery and one of the battery's legacies is the rather large gun that still sits prominently in the garden. You can read a bit more about it on Gwulo.com. Comments on that page also mention the lodge was built around 1965, but as we can see from the film it was already there in 1963 and, in fact, there is also a photo on Gwulo that shows the building was also already there in 1961. The actual year of construction seems to still be elusive. Any ideas?
