The compound is a declared monument since 1994 as it is one of the four oldest surviving government buildings in Hong Kong.[5][6] The Compound and the Old Kowloon Fire Station have been re-developed into a heritage hotel with food and beverage outlets and retail facilities in a project headed by architect Daniel Lin of A+T Design, opened in 2009.[7] The site is now officially renamed as 1881 Heritage.[8]
