花園道(約1920年)
花園道名稱源於1864年開放的香港植物公園，舊名為「大草坪馬路」，「大草坪」後來成為美利操場，即現長江中心所在。
左方可見落成於1910年代、現仍存在的梅夫人婦女會。美國領事館則於1950年代由滙豐銀行大廈，遷至右邊的地段。
現在，花園道已成為一條上落半山的主要幹道。
Garden Road, C.1920
It was named after the Hong Kong Botanical Garden which was opened in 1864. Its old name was "Parade Ground Road". "Murray Parade Ground" is the site where today's Cheung Kong Centre is located.
On the left is the building of Helena May which was built in 1910s and it exists until nowadays. The U.S.A Consulate was moved to the right side from the HSBC in 1950s.
Today, Garden Road has changed to a main road passing to and fro between Central and Mid-levels.
