雷生春這間優雅的鋪居大宅由本地商人雷亮於1931年建造，樓下是一間正骨診所，樓上是雷家的私人住所。該樓帶有當時典型的中西合璧建築風格，在沒有冷氣機的年代，這種深陽台的設計提供了更多的室外通風空間，提高了起居的舒適度。雖然鄰近的舊建築物早已被拆除重建，但大宅卻倖存了下來，於2012年經修復改建成中醫藥保健中心，並於2022年列為香港法定古蹟。千萬不要錯過地面的涼茶店和展覽廳。
Built by architect W.H. Bourne, this elegant corner tong lau shophouse is now a Declared Monument and was originally home to a bone-setting shop and the Lui family’s private residence. Its architecture is typical of the hybrid Chinese-Western style of the era, with deep verandahs that allowed for indoor-outdoor living in the days before air conditioning. The house managed to survive even as all of its neighbouring buildings were redeveloped and, in 2012, it was restored and converted into a Chinese medicine centre. Don’t miss the herbal tea shop and exhibition on the ground floor.

through art is not only crucial to the creation of inhabitable space in a city, it also represents our sense of identity of a place."
