Flagstaff House, built in 1846, is the oldest example of Western-style architecture remaining in Hong Kong.[1] It is located at 10 Cotton Tree Drive, Central – within the Hong Kong Park.[2]
It has been a longtime residence of the Commander of the British forces in Hong Kong during colonial times. Today Flagstaff House houses the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware.
