Higasi-yamate No12
The Juniban-kan Mansion at No. 12 of Higashiyamate, the area of Nagasaki in which western merchants, mostly from the Netherlands, settled in the second half of the 19th century, was built in 1868. This western-style house served as the Russian Consulate and later as the USA consulate, before being used as a residence for the missionaries of the American Methodist Church. The house was donated to Kwassui Gakuen women college in 1941, which in turn donated it to Nagasaki city in 1976. The building was repaired to its original state, a one-storey house roofed with Japanese tiles and a large veranda, in 1995. Today the house is recognized as a cultural asset and houses the Nagasaki City Historical Museum of the private School at the Former Foreign Settlement.
