Former site of Mobil company in Jiujang, National heritage oil company site in Xunyang District, Jiujiang, China.

The former Mobil site is an early oil trading industrial facility beside the Yangtze River. The structure preserves architectural features that reflect the international business style of that era.

In 1910 the Meifu Petroleum Company (Mobil) opened a branch in Jiujiang's British Concession at the mouth of the Longkai River and built oil depots and offices on Jinji Hill, today No. 77 Binjiang Road. The British Asiatic Petroleum Company arrived in 1915 and added its own facilities there in 1918. The surviving building combines both phases: the southern two-thirds dates from Meifu's 1910 work, the northern part from Asiatic's 1918 construction.

The building shows how Western companies and Chinese trading practices came together during the early 20th century. The place tells of a time when international business shaped daily life in this river port.

The building stands at No. 77 Binjiang Road in Xunyang District, on the former British Concession ground at the mouth of the Longkai River. It is a three-storey brick-and-concrete block, 24.2 m wide, 14.6 m deep and 10.2 m high, with 816 sq m of floor space. Look for the join between the southern two-thirds, built in 1910, and the northern section added in 1918.

The building is not a single Mobil structure: its southern two-thirds were built by the Meifu (Mobil) company in 1910, while the northern part was added by the British Asiatic Petroleum Company in 1918, so two rival oil firms share one facade.
