Chartered Building, Bank building in Kaigandōri, Japan

The Chartered Building stands on Kaigandōri Street with its stone facade, geometric lines, and traditional Japanese architectural elements integrated into the structure.

Built in 1938 under architect Jay Hill Morgan's direction, this structure served as offices for Mourilyan, Heimann & Co before becoming the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank branch.

The building represents the evolution of Japanese banking architecture during the industrial modernization period, incorporating both Eastern and Western design principles.

Located near Bashamichi Station on the Minatomirai Line, the building provides easy access to visitors and maintains its original banking functions.

The structure will participate in the Yokohama City Naka-ku Kaigandori Plan starting May 2024, integrating commercial facilities with historical preservation efforts.
