Its architectural style is similar to Anshan’s “Jingjingliao” (see: Old Photos of Anshan 017 – Mantetsu Staff Residence “Jingjingliao”). As one of the buildings preserved along the administrative street during the period of Russian occupation, it is not only the tallest, but also the largest among the three-story structures. During the Japanese rule period, it was called “Dashan Lodge,” serving as a dormitory for Mantetsu staff and also the former site of the “Nikka Automobile School.”
