American Club · 美国花旗总会
Today
Shanghai Financial Court building

The connection

Completed in 1925, the American Club served Shanghai’s American expatriate community. Hudec’s design used a Georgian Revival exterior. The building later housed courts; Shanghai Huangpu’s 2023 account identifies it as the Shanghai Financial Court.

What to look for

Dark brick, pale stone trim and the arched windows of the upper floor.

Before you go

Plan this as an exterior stop. A working court is not a walk-in heritage attraction.
