Old Brand Pavilion, 263 Huashan Road This is a British Renaissance-style building, also known as Delamond Residence because the British lawyer Delamond once lived here. It is now owned by the Guangming Group. The building is mostly made of green and red bricks and decorated with bright wood. It has a double-slope duplex zigzag roof. The main entrance is the central axis, symmetrical on the left and right. The gate is protruding, and the steps are made of green bricks with red brick lines. There is a square classical porch at the entrance that is as high as the second-floor eaves. The interior decoration of the residence is simple and elegant, but not exquisite. Teak wall panels, marble floors, complicated but exquisite plaster lines, painted relief glass, all show the exquisite and luxurious residence. The combination of the crystal lamp in the hall and the Tiffany blue window frame is also the reason why I linger here.

Hidden in the center of Shanghai, the European-style private estate, once known as Wen Estate (now called Delamonde Residence), is located at No. 7 Dasheng Alley, Lane 263, Huashan Road. It was built in 1899. Despite the numerous upheavals of the 20th century, it has been fortunately preserved to this day. Mr. Delamonde, originally known as Wen, was the most famous British barrister in Shanghai at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Born in London in 1841, his father was a clergyman. In 1870, he was appointed as a barrister and practiced in Hong Kong for two years before coming to Shanghai. He had close relations with Chinese court officials and provided a wealth of information to the British mission in China during the Boxer Rebellion, receiving high recognition from the authorities. In 1889, at the request of the International Settlement, he established a committee and served as its chairman, raising 50,000 pounds worldwide for famine relief in China, for which he was awarded the second highest honor medal by the Qing court. He passed away in Shanghai in 1915. The Delamonde building faces south and is a British red-brick structure, a pseudo-three-story Victorian-style old mansion with a double-slope duplex zigzag roof. The main entrance porch and the second-floor porch protrude, topped with a brick Baroque-style decoration. Each side of the roof has a pair of triangular gables, connecting the exquisite balcony on the upper floor and the short outer corridor on the first floor, making the facade rich and vivid.

Huashan 263 Time-honored Brand Pavilion, located at No. 7, Dashing Hutong, Lane 263, Huashan Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai. This is a European-style garden house hidden in the heart of the Magic City, originally the private residence of the British barrister Delamond, built in 1899 in the English Tudor Revival style, with a double-pitched complex gable roof. After liberation, it was taken over by the state and became the office of the Shanghai Farm Bureau (predecessor of Bright Group). Today, this century-old house has been transformed into the Huashan 263 Time-honored Brand Pavilion, which gathers and displays the culture and products of more than two hundred time-honored brands in Shanghai, presenting the brand culture in various ways. It can be said that Shanghai has the most 'Chinese Time-honored' brands, and the promotion of the integration of the time-honored brand pavilion with cultural tourism, services, and industry has truly achieved the goal of bringing time-honored brands closer to people's beautiful lives.
