一位城市探險達人進入一座半山廢棄具有百年歷史的警衛屋。
警衛屋大概是在1901、1902年與主樓同時建造。 該建築是2層高的中國式斜瓦頂結構,包括帶鐵欄杆的陽台,外露的雨水管和廚房煙囪。 入口通道是由大量花崗岩台階構成。 仍然保留了許多原來的房門和百葉窗。 在木結構支撐的斜屋頂上使用中國瓦是本地的調整設計。
自2000年左右就被廢棄了。現在樹木和樹根密密麻麻地蔓延在牆上,為二級歷史建築。
城市探索基於以下原則:除了拍照外,別無其他,不留痕跡,不透露位置。
An avid urban explorer ventures into an abandoned century-old Chinese-Western style gatekeeper’s lodge at Mid-levels.
The lodge was probably built in 1901/1902 with the main house. The building is a 2-storey Chinese tiled pitched-roof structure including a verandah with iron railings, expressed rainwater pipes and a chimney stack to serve the kitchen. The entrance way is built of a grand flight of granite steps. Many of the original doors and louvered timber shutters still remain. The use of Chinese tiles for the pitched roof supported on timber frame is a local adaptation.
It has been abandoned since around 2000. Now trees and roots sprawl densely on the wall surfaces. It is a Grade II historic building.
Urban exploration is based on the principles of take nothing except picture, leave no trace and not revealing the location.
