The floors of the main building are of hardwood nailed to fillets let into cement concrete and those of the subsidiary building are of reinforced concrete. The roofs, where pitched, are covered with the ordinary Chinese pan and roll tiling and, where flat, with reinforced concrete. The staircase to the upper storey of the subsidiary building is of reinforced concrete.
The buildings throughout are lit by electric light.
All liabilities were discharged before the close of the year.
