Broadway Mansions
Broadway Mansions () is a nineteen-floor Art Deco five star hotel in Shanghai, China.〔It is described in 1993 as "Shanghai's best known building"; see "Shanghai", ''The New Encyclopædia Britannica'', 15th ed., Vol. 27 (Encyclopædia Britannica, 1993):274;〕〔Dmitri Kessel, ''On Assignment: Dmitri Kessel, LIFE photographer'' (Abrams, 1985):149.〕〔Noël Barber, ''The Fall of Shanghai: The Communist Take-over in 1949'' (Macmillan, 1979):96.〕 and was for over five decades one of the primary symbols of Shanghai.〔http://www.broadwaymansions.com/en/about3_1.htm〕〔Sidney Shapiro, ''An American in China: Thirty Years in the People's Republic'' (New World Press, 1979):55.〕
Completed in 1934, the same year as the 19 feet taller Park Hotel. Upon its completion it became the tallest apartment building in Shanghai and remained so for several decades.〔"The Weary Wait" ''Time'' (23 May 1949); http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,794751,00.html〕 Located near the confluence of Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River, as well as the northern end of The Bund, it was built by the architectural and engineering firm of Palmer and Turner, and its completion in 1935 signalled the commencement of the high-rise building era in Asia.〔Georges Binder, ''Tall Buildings of Asia & Australia'' (Images Publishing, 2001):ifc.〕 It was Shanghai's "closest approach to a modern American skyscraper."〔Bruce Douglass and Ross Terrill, ''China and Ourselves: Explorations and Revisions by a New Generation'' (Beacon Press, 1971):90.〕 It commands possibly the best view of the Bund and Huangpu.〔Nicholas Whitlam, "Bright Lights, Old City", ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' (13 November 2008); http://www.smh.com.au/travel/bright-lights-old-city-20081113-62zc.html?page=-1〕
Originally labelled as "The Broadway Mansions" in 1935, it was renamed Shanghai Mansions by the Shanghai Municipal Council in 1951, but reverted to its original name after China opened up again to the West. The Broadway Mansions has been owned and operated by the Shanghai Hengshan (Group) Holdings Company (上海市人民政府直属的上海衡山集团) since at least 1985.〔http://www.broadwaymansions.com/〕
==Location==
The Broadway Mansions Hotel is located at 20 Bei Suzhou Road(formerly 1 Broadway),〔http://www.archives.sh.cn/shjy/shzg/201212/t20121213_37490.html〕 Shanghai in the North Bund area of the Hongkou District.〔 It is at the northern end of the Waibaidu Bridge (Garden Bridge). It is at the corner of Bei Suzhou Road, Huangpu Road, and Daming Road (formerly Broadway), and is less than thirty metres from the Suzhou Creek,〔Kang Yan and Robert Hale Smitheram, ''Deciphering Shanghai, 1990-2000'' (Australian-Chinese Press, 2002):215.〕 close to its confluence with the Huangpu River. It is also bounded by Haining Road at the rear, and Wusong Road South on the west. It is across Daming Road from the Astor House Hotel.〔http://www.broadwaymansions.com/en/Location.htm〕 Before the mansions were constructed a building owned by the British firm Shanghai electric construction company stood on its site.
