Located in the heart of the former French Concession, the building was originally constructed in 1932, with additional floors completed only in 1948. The ground floor is occupied by shops. Its location was at one of the French Concession's major intersections, Route de Sayzoong and Avenue Joffre. It was also in a particularly secure area, lying directly across from Poste Pottier, the French police station built in the style of a Marseilles villa. The building retains many original features including classicly coloured terrazzo floors with inlaid brass trims on common area floors and stairwells, as well as wrought iron filigree window lattices and original brass lift buttons and indicators.

The building is located at the corner of Huai Hai Zhong Road and Chang Shu Road, adjoining the Metro Station (Line 1 and Line 7 [Under-construction]).
