"The site to the immediate south of the old German Club, is Pedder's Hill, on which stood a number of two-storied dwelling houses. Here lived a number of European families, including the late Robert Fraser-Smith, Editor and Proprietor of the Hongkong Telegraph, which was also housed in one of the buildings. Mr. Fraser-Smith owned race horses, and these were kept in stables there and exercised in the large courtyard, around three sides of which the dwellings were arrayed. Chinese houses now crown the land.
