In 1909-10 there was a flurry of building on Cheung Chau as plots were cheap, and the island offered all the benefits of The Peak at a fraction of the cost - sea breezes, exclusivity, and pleasing views.
European House #19 was a good-sized bungalow, built around this time on the peninsula at Nam Tam Wan, close to the beach there, south-facing to enjoy the sun, and with fabulous views of Lantau to the west, Lamma to the east and various islands to the south.
In the 1938 Map of Cheung Chau, the owner of House #19 is recorded as a W W Cadbury, an American medical missionary.
Today, together with House #21, House #19 has become part of the Salesian Retreat House, a Catholic Retreat Centre with 68 suites for physical rest and spiritual renewal.
