The Premises











'Gosney & Kallman's CHINATOWN' is located on the famous Shanghai food Street 'Zhapu Lu.' This was the first foreign concession in Shanghai. The building was built in 1931 by a Japanese architect in a Hindu style, in the Jewish concession, in Shanghai! When we got the building it had been vacant for 7 years. We had to put a new roof on, new electricity, and plumbing (there were no toilets in the building). We also added a third floor. We completely refurbished the place, but kept all the original structure and incorporated it into the design.
