Shanghai - "1933" Slaughterhouse

Yuck! An abattoir? Read on!

 

Well, actually the "1933" complex is the fomer Municipal Slaughterhouse from colonial times. Built in 1933 out of reinforced concrete by British architect C.H. Stableford in cooperation with others.

 

After an intermediate career as medicine factory, followed by much disrepair and decay, now the building is restored as an arts and restaurant center. And here you can see the roof of this building.

 

Located in Hongkou, No. 10 Shajing Road (上海1933老场坊,虹口区沙泾路10号)

 

It's a complex structure featuring an outer building in an about square footprint and an inner round core building, multiple levels, all interconnected by an amazing maze of spiral and straight staircases, ramps and walkways.
