Shanghai Club Building, Six-story baroque building at The Bund, Shanghai, China

The Shanghai Club Building exhibits an English Renaissance style facade with six Ionic columns and two symmetrical baroque cupolas on the roof.

Originally constructed in 1864 and rebuilt in 1910, the structure served as the primary British men's club in Shanghai during the early twentieth century.

The building housed a 34-meter Jacobean mahogany bar where seating arrangements reflected the strict social hierarchy of colonial Shanghai society.

The structure now operates as the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, offering luxury accommodations and maintaining its historical architectural features.

The second floor contained what was once considered the longest bar in the world, measuring 110.7 feet by 39 feet in an L-shape configuration.
