As of December 2024, there are 136 declared monuments in Hong Kong, with 58 listed on Hong Kong Island, 55 on New Territories, 14 on Kowloon, and 9 on the Outlying Islands.[2]
There was no direct link between graded buildings and monuments. As of July 2007, 607 buildings had been graded (since 1980), 54 of these, including five Grade I buildings, had been demolished. As of August 2007, of 151 buildings classified as Grade I, only 28 pre-war buildings have been declared monuments since 1980.[3]
On 26 November 2008, the Antiquities Advisory Board announced that the declaration of monuments would be related to the grading of historic buildings.[4]
The Antiquities Authority (theSecretary for Development) may declare a building facing a demolition risk a proposed monument, thus providing the building with immediate protection against demolition. A Declaration of "proposed" status is valid for twelve months and may be extended. However the affected owner may object to the "proposed" status.[5] Five buildings were declared proposed monuments between 1982 and 2012:Ohel Leah Synagogue (later Grade I in 1990),Morrison Building (subsequently declared in 2004),Jessville (later Grade III),King Yin Lei (subsequently declared in 2008) andHo Tung Gardens (later demolished in 2013).[6]Hung Lau was declared a proposed monument on 9 March 2017, and subsequently retained its Grade I status.
