Initially a residence for a Scottish watchmaker in 1864, the building in Pok Fu Lam was purchased by HKU in 1954 as a residence hall. Ghost stories passed down through the generations of the occupants, and it's said that the animal statues guarding the main entrance are cursed. Infamously, anyone who touched the statues also become cursed, never graduating. Now students don't go near the part elephant and part lion statue.
