Old Bank of China Building, Shanghai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old Bank of China Building is a 17 floor tower in Shanghai and was completed in 1937. It was built by architects P & T Architects Limited (Palmer and Turner).
It was built on the site of the old German Club (c. 1907). It housed the headquarters of the Bank of China. The stunted appearance of the building is attributed to Victor Sassoon's insistence that no other building on the Bund could rise higher than his.
