Yokohama Specie Bank Building, Multi-story bank building on The Bund, Shanghai, China.

The Yokohama Specie Bank Building stands as a seven-story neoclassical structure with grand columns and detailed ornamental elements on its principal facade.

Following World War II in 1949, the Chinese government transferred the building's ownership to the Eastern China branch of the People's Bank of China.

The building combines Eastern and Western architectural elements, marking Shanghai's role as a significant international trading center in the early 1900s.

Located along the Huangpu River, the building now operates as a branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China with regular banking hours.

The building occupies the exact location where David Sassoon established his original structure in 1845, marking 175 years of continuous financial activity.
