The Cosmopolitan Apartments

Posted: August 17th, 2010 | No Comments »

A nice in-depth piece from CNNGo on the former Cosmopolitan Apartments (1934) on the old Bubbling Well Road (Nanjing West Road). Nothing to say, except thank God it hasn’t yet succumbed to the bulldozers and property developers who would obviously dearly love to either a) take it down or b) rip it out and put it back together far worse than it originally was. Take a look, there’s a gallery of pictures of this Shanghai art deco classic. Click here.
