　　Introduction　　 Located at No. 188 Machang Road, Hexi District, it was built in 1925 with a brick-and-wood structure. The architectural style is simplified classicism from the 19th-century Art Nouveau movement. It has three floors including the basement, covering a construction area of 9,525 square meters. The building entrance features a gable roof and arched gables, with broken pediments and sawtooth decorations under the eaves. The walls are built with red bricks, featuring square pilasters and white simplified capitals. The porch is made of brick square columns, with an iron-railed balcony above. The hall is a two-story concrete beam-and-column structure with hardwood flooring. The second-floor hall has a wooden-faced gallery, and the ceiling is adorned with a stained-glass dome. The building houses a restaurant, tea room, billiard room, swimming pool, and a large ballroom with a spring floor, among other facilities. Its functions are comprehensive, and the materials and craftsmanship used in the construction are refined, high-quality, and elaborate. The compound includes tennis courts, an outdoor roller skating rink, and a large theater that can accommodate over a thousand people. There is also a large dining hall that can seat 500 people simultaneously, as well as several smaller restaurants. The inner courtyard features an antique-style garden building called Yan Garden.
