來自巴黎的平面設計師和數碼營銷顧問嘉洛蓮 (Caroline Zeller)鍾情於香港的古老保育建築,例如位於灣仔李節花園的重建唐樓外牆。

1991年2月7日,李節街17座戰前樓宇被列為危樓,4月全部住戶遷出,後被改建成一個南洋風格的小公園。土地發展公司重建李節街剩下的唐樓前壁。

街道以十九世紀末香港華人首富及晚清二品頂戴花翎李陞之弟李節命名。李陞於香港擁有李陞街、高陞街、松秀東街及松秀西街四條街的業權。

Caroline Zeller, a graphics designer and digital marketing consultant from Paris, loves the old heritage buildings in Hong Kong, like the reconstructed facade of a Chinese tenement house (Tong Lau) at Li Chit Garden in Wanchai.

On February 7, 1991, the 17 pre-war buildings on Li Chit Street were classified as dangerous. All residents moved out in April, and later they were converted into a small Nanyang-style park. The Land Development Company reconstructed the facade with leftover materials.

The street is named after Li Chit, the brother of Li Sing, the richest Chinese in Hong Kong at the end of the 19th century, and a decorated official of the late Qing Dynasty. Li Sing owns the title of Li Sing Street, Ko Shing Street, Chung Sau Street East and Chung Sau Street West in Hong Kong.
