This is the Savoy Apartments, another Art Deco residential block in the French Concession area of Shanghai. It was designed by Minutti & Co in 1928 and has a series of lovely deco panels just below the roofline.

    I never would have thought Shanghai would have art deco buildings - you learn something new everyday!

      Oh yes. They have lots. Historic Shanghai run regular Art Deco walk and Shanghai is preparing to host the World Congress on Art Deco in a few years time.
