Batchelor Memorial Building
Batchelor Memorial Building, Western architectural structure at Hokkaido University Botanical Gardens, Japan.
The Batchelor Memorial Building features an iron plate thatched roof design within a 13.3-hectare botanical garden setting in Sapporo's university district.
Built in 1898, the structure served as the residence of Dr. John Batchelor, who conducted extensive research on Ainu communities in northern Japan.
The building combines Japanese architectural elements with Victorian-era construction methods, reflecting the cultural exchange between Japan and Western nations.
Visitors can reach the memorial building through the main entrance of Hokkaido University Botanical Gardens, located in Chūō-ku district of Sapporo.
The structure houses exhibits about Dr. Batchelor's work with Ainu communities, alongside displays of agricultural practices from late 19th century Hokkaido.
