 秋意正濃，最適宜漫步中西區，一定感到很舒服。
這幢紅白間條的建築物很眼熟吧？
Autumn is here! You must be feeling comfy while walking around in Central and feel the breeze! Do you think this red and white building looks familiar?

藝穗會 Fringe Club

沒錯！就是藝穗會 (Fringe Club)及香港外國紀者會 (Foreign Correspondents' Club)，
位於中環下亞厘畢道和雲咸街交界，近雪廠街南。
Right! This is the Fringe Club and the Foreign Correspondents' Club, located at 2 Lower Albert Road. The back of the building is located along Wyndham Street.

這又會是什麼古蹟呢？
三、二、一......看看下面開估！
What heritage is it?

舊牛奶公司倉庫 Old Dairy Farm Depot 

舊牛奶公司倉庫(Old Dairy Farm Depot)或稱為舊牛奶公司寫字樓(Old Dairy Farm Building)，已被列為香港一級歷史建築。

歴史:
舊牛奶公司倉庫建於1892年，樓高3層，由牛奶公司興建，最初只用作冰庫（但這並非雪廠街所指的「雪廠」），當時香港人用作冷藏的冰塊是從中國北部採用船運，在離雲咸街不遠的皇后大道中海邊碼頭卸貨，再用人力拖運到這個冰庫儲藏。

1896年，牛奶公司將總部搬到此處，並先後加建屠場、餡餅生產工場、牛奶分銷中心、零售冰粒雪庫、副食品工場以及鍋爐間等設備。

1913年，原倉庫被翻新為牛奶公司總經理的住所。香港日治時期，日軍曾將倉庫掠奪一空。香港重光後，該址恢復作為牛奶公司總部。

1982年，牛奶公司遷出該倉庫，而牛奶公司則遷往鰂魚涌太古坊德宏大廈迄今，同年香港外國記者會進駐北座，藝穗會則在1983年12月遷入南座。

History:

In 1892, Dairy Farm built a low-rise brick and stucco building on Lower Albert Road in Central for use as a cold storage warehouse. It was designed by Danby & Leigh (now Leigh & Orange). The original depot only comprised about half (the southern part) of the present premises. This warehouse was later renovated and expanded in 1913, 1917 and 1925 to include a dairy shop, a room for meat smoking, a cold storage room for winter clothes and residency for the general manager. The building later evolved into the company headquarters until the company moved in the 1970s.

The Foreign Correspondent's Club started occupying the North Block in 1982. The South Block was acquired by the Hong Kong Fringe Club in 1984. It has undergone many major renovations to make it a vibrant place for contemporary arts since the Fringe Club moved in, in 1983.
