The facade of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant
The facade of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is a protected municipal cultural heritage site in Beijing.
The facade of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is located at No. 30 Qianmen Street, Dongcheng District, and is listed as part of the Eighth Batch of Municipal Cultural Heritage Protection Units in Beijing.
Quanjude was established in the third year of the Tongzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1864) and is a well-known time-honored Chinese restaurant brand. This facade was built during the Republican era, featuring three bays constructed with blue bricks, with an arched doorway in the center and arched windows on either side. The doors and windows bear carved brick plaques. After the original shop interior was remodeled, the original facade was relocated and preserved inside the restaurant. The facade of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant stands as a significant physical example of commercial storefront architecture from the late Qing and early Republican periods.
