This is the building that Stilwell came from Beijing to visit just to see its true appearance; this is the Far East’s premier mansion that a foreign diplomat could not exchange for, even with a 10,000-ton cruise ship and half a million dollars in cash. It has witnessed the tradition and fashion of Shanghai and recorded the architectural enlightenment of I.M. Pei’s childhood. This is the Green House at 333 Tongren Road, known as the Green House by the people of Shanghai. Several years later, a novel called ‘The Blue House’ became popular nationwide, and the Green House was the prototype of the Blue House in the novel. The author of the book is the granddaughter-in-law of Wu Tongwen. Wu Tongwen is the uncle of architectural master I.M. Pei. The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the daily opening conditions.
