Located within the former HMS Tamar naval base in Admiralty, Hong Kong, the building was named the Prince of Wales building in 1976, and housed the headquarters of the British garrison in Hong Kong until the territory's handover to the People's Republic of China on June 30, 1997.
After that, it was renamed the Central Barracks, although the Prince of Wales building inscription remained visible for several years.
