The apartment is located at 115 Yuanmingyuan Road. The whole building shows the typical British Queen Anne revival style, with clear water brick walls, brick carvings, using white paint and brick to form a strong color contrast, and the interior is very luxurious.

    The walls are decorated with complex brick carvings when the house is built. The style is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The window glass is located in the corridor structure of the early building, which is common in the colonial period.

    When visiting the special exhibition of art images of "Looking Back: 9 Invisible Snippets on the Bund", I will enjoy a number of renovated historical buildings in the source of Rock Bund, which opened in 2022. (Continue 2) Yuanmingyuan Apartment (Figure 1~ 4) was built in 1904 and is located at No. 115 Yuanmingyuan Road. It is the earliest English apartment in Shanghai. The whole building presents a typical British Queen Anne revival style. In the two corners of the building along the street, the architect made a cut corner treatment. On the ground floor, a semi-circle shallow porch was built, supported by two Ionik short columns, and the clever design naturally created a semi-circle balcony for the second floor. Next to the Yuanmingyuan Apartment is the Ampere Foreign Bank Building (Figure 5~ 10) located at No. 97 Yuanmingyuan Road. The building was built in 1907 and the main building was in a British classical architectural style. The most prominent thing is that there is a very beautiful circular pick-out window in the middle of the three floors, a bit like a delicate chandelier. In 2014, Christie's auction house was stationed in the Ampere Foreign Bank building, so many flags with the words "Christie's" can be seen on the first floor of the building.

    The whole building shows a typical British Queen Anne revival style. The "Queen Anne revival style" sounds very royal ribbons, and I went to deep learning: Queen Anne style was born in the 19th century, when the British Empire was in the heyday of Victoria. Queen Anne was the architectural form that represented the peak of art at the time. By freely combining the decorative elements of all the architectural styles that were circulating at that time, she became the most representative architectural style.

    Part of the source of Locke Bund, the Yuanmingyuan Apartment is also a red brick building. The British architectural style is on the Bund. There are many classic buildings. The preservation is also very good. Walking on the Yuanmingyuan Road, it feels like in Europe. The architectural style and the surrounding environment are integrated. It is a wonderful feeling.

    Yuanmingyuan Apartment Address: No. 115 Yuanmingyuan Road Transportation: Nanjing East Road Station of Metro Line 2 and 10 Tickets: Not open to the outside world Construction features: Yuanmingyuan Apartment is the earliest English-style apartment in Shanghai. Built around 1904, designed by the famous architect firm Elder Foreign, Shanghai. The whole building shows a typical British Queen Anne revival style. The apartment is clean and red brick, typical Queen Anne style. The contrast between red brick and white color makes people visually comfortable. The door is very low-key, the square door, the cement word "Yuanmingyuan Apartment" is simple and unpretentious, and there are two Ionik short columns on both sides. The window frame upstairs is much more beautiful, and the red bricks are combined into geometric patterns, which are very decorative. Close to the corner of the building of the YMCA, on both sides of the four Ionik pillars surrounded the semi-circle porch, on the top is a baroque balcony, this is the essence of the whole building, deeply loved by photographers. The third and fourth floors are Hui Ge hot pot. A red wooden ladder is built in the lobby on the first floor. It is a bit indecent and even a bit strange. Eaves Wuyu: Yuanmingyuan Apartment is the favorite building on Yuanmingyuan Road, no one. But it’s not easy to shoot it, especially standing in the YMCA building took a lot of shots, but the satisfaction rate is too low. #My travel wish
