Banque de l'Indochine Building, French colonial bank building in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China.

The three-story structure rises 21.6 meters high, featuring Renaissance and Baroque elements with Ionic columns framing its symmetrical entrance.

Constructed in 1914 by architects Atkinson & Dallas, the building maintained operations during World War II due to Vichy France's neutrality status.

The building represents Shanghai's international financial development during the early 20th century, combining French architectural design with Chinese urban evolution.

Located at 29 East Zhongshan Road, the building currently houses the China Everbright Bank and permits visitors to view its restored lobby.

The original banking hall contained six Ionic columns supporting a glass ceiling designed to maximize natural light throughout the interior space.
