About King's College
King's College is a government secondary school whose red-brick campus on Bonham Road, built between 1923 and 1926, is one of six surviving pre-war government school buildings in Hong Kong. It is designed in the Neo-classical style, with arched colonnades, verandahs and rusticated quoins. The Japanese army used it as a military stable during the occupation, and it reopened as a school in 1950 after repairs.
