Rhine House, Historic foreign residence in Kitano-chō, Japan.
Rhine House stands as a two-story wooden clapboard building with a colonial-style veranda and bay windows painted in traditional oil-based colors.
Built in 1915 by J.R. Drewell during Japan's period of international influence, the structure underwent substantial repairs following damage from the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
The residence displays European architectural elements, featuring antique furniture from Baroque and Victorian periods alongside exhibits about Kitano's foreign houses.
Located at 2-10-24 Kitano-cho in Kobe, the house offers free admission and operates from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with final entry at 5:45 PM.
The interior includes a nineteenth-century mahogany pub counter obtained from a British aristocratic mansion and a replica of Sherlock Holmes' room.
