Bagong House
巴公房子
A century-old red-brick apartment building in Hankou's old concession area, with a corner tower and a long veranda. It's one of Wuhan's most iconic old Western-style houses.
Bagong House is at the junction of Poyang Street and Dongting Street in Jiangan District. Built in 1910 by the Russian tea merchant Banov brothers, it was one of the earliest large apartment buildings in Hankou. Its floor plan is triangular, and it is distinctive for its red-brick walls, corner tower and long veranda. It has since been renovated and turned into a hotel. Its exterior is a must-see on any walk through Hankou's old concession area. Around it, Lihuangpi Road, Dongting Street and Poyang Street are lined with many old Western-style houses, including the August 7th Meeting Site. Viewing the exterior is free.
