Imbrie House, Western-style building at Meiji Gakuin University, Shirokanedai, Japan.
The Imbrie House features wood construction with American residential design elements, incorporating local Japanese architectural influences throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1889, the Imbrie House served as the residence of Dr. William Imbrie during a period of increasing Western influence in Japanese architecture.
The building represents the architectural transformation of Japan during the Meiji period when the country began integrating Western construction methods and styles.
Located within the Meiji Gakuin University campus, visitors can access the Imbrie House through guided tours that explore its architectural and historical significance.
The restoration project in 1995 maintained the building's authenticity by utilizing original construction materials and techniques from the late nineteenth century.
