The Russian Consulate – Tientsin, 1912

Posted: August 16th, 2017 | No Comments »

Russia gave up its treaty port rights in Tientsin (Tianjin) after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in 1920 having had a concession in the city since 1867. This is the Russian Consulate building in 1912 (it was built in 1904).

I believe the building still stands, just across the completely bizarre faux European Daguangming Bridge.
