Jardine Matheson Building Tianjin, British colonial trading building in Heping District, China

The seven-story Jardine Matheson Building stands along Bund Road, featuring classical European architectural elements with a symmetrical facade and detailed stonework.

The structure, established in 1851 by Scottish firm Jardine Matheson, marked one of the first foreign commercial ventures in Tianjin during China's opening to international trade.

The building represents the intersection of European and Chinese commerce, serving as a physical reminder of international business relations in nineteenth-century Tianjin.

Located at 27 Bund Road in the Heping District, the building maintains its commercial function through various enterprises and remains open to public viewing.

The structure underwent multiple transformations from its initial form as a two-story English cottage to its current seven-story configuration with Beaux-Arts architectural features.
