The
floor plans reveal some unusual amenities for the time. it was one of
the few private homes in Shanghai to have an elevator. On another
floor, a room labeled "airconditioned room", sandwiched between
the servants' passage and the box room, most probably was a walk-in
refrigerator. There is a driveway running through the house, entering
from Hardoon Road and exiting onto Peking Road. In addition to the usual
servants' and service rooms, this floor also features a billiard room
and bar opening onto the garden, a reception room, a school, and an
"ancestor hall". |
