Murphy & Dana and Nanjing University

Posted: December 11th, 2012 | No Comments »

Back in March 2011 I blogged about the older buildings remaining at Nanjing University (here). Last weekend I heard Edward Denison speak on architecture in China at the University of Westminster China in Britain conference and he noted that these buildings were designed by the architects Murphy and Dana (the red star I presume was added later!) – I didn’t know that.

So maybe take another look and read a history of Henry Murphy here who was responsible for many stand out buildings in Shanghai and across China.
