Nanjing Lane Bank is located at No. 19, Nanjing Lane, Beiguan, Bozhou City. It is the former site of a folk financial institution that takes currency as its business object. In May 1998, the People’s Government of Anhui Province announced it as a key cultural relic protection unit in the province. Bozhou has been a major commercial port since ancient times. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the financial industry has become more prosperous. With the development of economy and foreign trade, merchants gather and chambers of commerce stand in great numbers. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were 33 large and small banks in the whole city. Nanjing Lane Bank was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and is a branch of Rishengchang draft bank in Pingyao. Its business scope mainly includes: deposits, loans, currency exchange, issuance and exchange of money notes and silver notes. With the development of urban construction, most of the original bank sites in Bozhou City have been demolished and rebuilt. Only Nanjing Lane Bank is relatively intact. As a bank museum, it is open to the public. Nanjing Lane Bank is a three-entry courtyard with three rooms in width. There are more than 30 buildings such as foyer, main hall, back hall, cashier’s room, accounting room, manager’s room and kitchen. The architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western, with a strict layout and complete preservation. Now there is a special exhibition on the rise, development and demise of Bozhou banks, which is of great value for studying the history of modern banks and commercial building.
