The Wukang Building was designed by Hudec, the well-know architect.
Built in 1905, it was originally the residence of the Director General of the French Public Directorate. After the liberation, it once served as the temporary residence of Mayor Chen Yi. The three-story mixed structure is a French Renaissance garden residence. The plane and the facade are axis-symmetrical. The south facade is set with double-enclosed open-air white marble steps. It is known as the "Little White House in Shanghai”. Then, we will transfer to Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre and appreciate original propaganda posters from the 1940s to 1990s.
