Russo-Chinese Bank Building, Historical bank building at The Bund, Shanghai, China
The three-story Renaissance structure exhibits white glazed ceramic tiles, granite facades, and four symmetrical window rows on each side of the central entrance.
Built in 1901 under architect Heinrich Bake's direction, the building served as the Shanghai branch of the Russo-Chinese Bank until 1917's Russian Revolution.
The structure represents the early 20th-century European architectural influence along the Huangpu River waterfront, marking Shanghai's financial development period.
Located at East Zhongshan Road, the building now functions as the Shanghai Foreign Exchange Trading Center and allows visitors to observe its exterior architecture.
The building introduced modern office amenities to Shanghai, featuring an early elevator system, electric generators, and desk-mounted electric fans throughout its spaces.
