THE BLUE HOUSE - HK HOUSE OF STORIES
SPECIAL EVENT EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT!
2014-11-24
When you walk past Wanchai, do you notice a few Venetian-colored buildings that seem to be out of tune? Yes I’m referring to the blue house, yellow house and orange house in Stone Nullah Lane. These three buildings join together to form the “Blue House Cluster”, among which the Blue House was classified as a Grade I Historic Building. Built in the 1920s, it once housed a hospital, then a temple, a martial club and a mackay hospital, while 1/F and 2/F used to be pre-war schools and community-run free schools.
Today, the blue house has already transformed into a livelihood museum which organizes regular exhibitions to discuss various social topics. But this time what we want to introduce you, is their fun and meaningful events held every Thursday night.
