Ching Ming Building - Hankow - 1920

Poyang Rd, British Concession.

Designed by Hankow-based British architects and engineers, Messrs Hemmings & Berkley, this grand building was a collaboration between the architects and local construction firm Han Yeh Sheng.

 

It accommodated both commercial premises and offices on the lower floors and residential apartments on the upper floors. Not surprisingly, the prolific Messrs Hemmings & Berkley had their offices here. The firm was responsible for the design of many prominent buildings in Hankow, Shanghai and Tientsin, including the following:-
