碧山洋樓之三和通陳清吉
楹聯之二:
蝸廬竣曰苟曰苟又曰苟
矮屋成於斯於斯復於斯
此聯係東埔陳紫居先賢所題,因嫌其前楹句詞誇大,爰予謙詞以續對。但無署名,其意是以小慢而增也。
前樓大門內製木門板,外加鐵門,以防強盜無法有力攻入。前樓之後,設有左右側門,有木門,門後再製厚木大塊之護板,上設通入於壁,下設涵以活輪推用厚板 擋住木門,中設天井,左右蓋平台,前樓可通行至後棟之二樓中平台外邊,有欄杆上各製寸餘鋼筋豎立至後棟之屋頂高,其他窗戶及有空間之處,亦都用粗鋼筋設備,防禦強盜之侵入,所有外壁建築出唇線,或窗戶蓋有特色設計建築,美觀景色為人羨慕。
據聞當時建築費是銀元,未及四萬元,迨至公元二○○二年十二月十五日,碧山舉辦建築活動時,據金門日報刊登,其建築費是三十餘萬元,相差頗巨,然在當時銀元,並未有變動,費人思解,現在唯有冀望熱心人士,考究者採訪與同時間建築之洋樓者,俾資印證為禱。
陳清吉先生約於民國二十三、四年間,挈眷返金,為其長子錫奎與瓊林華僑蔡嘉種之女能巧結婚,迎親有迎盛之舉盛況,粧奩飾豐,途眾觀之羨慕。時蔡嘉種與陳清吉均為星洲金門會館董事成員,會館對於家鄉的治安、教育、公路建設等做出極大的貢獻,晚年則與英坑黃慶昌任名譽會長等榮譽職務。
陳清吉居金約有三個月,縣長派二名帶械侍衛隨從住宿,日夜保護其舉家之安全,為防範大陸盜賊前來搶劫,在夜間,本村亦增派壯丁輪流巡邏,但陳清吉亦有發給點心之津貼費,以表謝忱。

Quemoy (Kinmen 金門) and Lorong How Sun 羅弄後山
From wikipedia. Quemoy, pronounced /kɪˈmɔɪ/, is a name for the island in English and in other European languages. It may have originated as a Spanish or Portuguese transcription of the Zhangzhou Hokkien pronunciation of the name, Kim-mûi.
Phase 1 was bought by Tan Seck Kay in 1941 & conveyed to Kim Lam in 1949.The rest of the area, (which I named Phase 2), were bought by Kim Lam also in 1949.
In Phase 1, both Quemoy Road and Lor How Sun was developed same time, & this news advert appeared in 1961 with those names.
Yr 1969 Houses for sale in Phase 1
Yr 1968 Houses for sale in Phase 2
Phase 1 was 3 plots of vacant land bought in 1941 by Tan Seck Kay who promptly turned it into a quarry for his bricks production
Production factories were built into that area with pte roads serving it.
When the earth has been depleted, land usage would have changed, with land/housing development. So begin Phase 2, with ownership passing onto Kim Lam in 1949.
Same year, Kim Land bought the lands in Phase 2.
Quemoy Road was named as a Pte Road, serving the Flats/Houses in Phase 1.
Both Phase 1 &2 were private roads, so have to draw references from the Public Road.
Since both roads served houses/flats sold by Kim Lam, there is no reason not to believe that the roads were named by Tan Cheng Kiat for his homeland, Quemoy and How Sun
