Mountain Lodge, the Peak 山頂港督別墅

This shows the Governor’s summer residence and the greater part of its grounds. In the foreground is the gatekeeper’s lodge. The Gate Lodge originally served as living quarters for the keeper of Mountain Lodge, the summer Peak residence of the Governor. It was built between 1900 and 1902. Mountain Lodge was constructed in the style of Scottish lodges and was described by the media as the most imposing and handsome architecture on the peak. Gate Lodge, however, is in Renaissance style which is a major deviation from Mountain Lodge. Mountain Lodge was demolished in 1946, leaving only Gate Lodge. Although Gate Lodge is a small building, it was planned in a very functional way. It was declared a monument in 1995.山頂港督別墅及建築物周圍的土地。照片前方是守衛室,於1900至1902年間興建。山頂別墅採用蘇格蘭大宅建築特色,被當時傳媒形容為山頂區最宏偉及壯觀之建築。守衛室則採用文藝復興建築風格,與山頂別墅迴然不同。山頂別墅於1946年拆卸,只剩下這所守衛室。守衛室雖然面積不大,但建築規格嚴謹。守衛室於1995年被列為法定古蹟。
