The main buildings are from left to right the New Law Courts, the Customs House, the Accountant General's Office, the Standard Chartered Bank (the white building at the top), and the Port Authority. The northern wing of the Accountant General's Office was heavily damaged by Allied bombing in early 1945 and subsequently collapsed or was pulled down. The building has never since been repaired.
