24. French consulate Former Site
法国领事馆旧址

In 1862 France set up a consulate in Hankou.In 1865, a French-style second-floor brick-and-white brick building was built in Dongting Street. It was destroyed by fire in 1891. The consulate building was rebuilt in 1892.
Up and down two floors, this building is a two-story brick and wood structure, belonging to the Western-style garden building in South Asia. There is a fireplace in the room, full wooden floors, wooden shutters, and a garden around the building. There are garages and concierges and yards in the yard.
The address is now 81.Dongting Street, Hankou. After the surrender of Japan after the Second World War, China officially took over the management of the French Concession in Hankou. The Hankou French Concession was the last leased land in China.
In this special place, the French Consulate was opened from 1862 until the close of 1950. It was not closed in the middle and opened in Wuhan for 88 years.
From 1950 to 2013, it was used as a residence of the Wuhan Municipal Government.
In 1892, after France and Russia settled into the areas in Hankou, France made a deal with the Chinese government that allowed it to, in 1902, extend its area of control beyond the "conventional" boundary lines of the concession district at Zhongshan Avenue in northern Hankou. The border of French concession was closest to the key location Dazhimen Railway Station which was part of the Beijing-Hankou Railway. Looking at maps of old Hankou, it is clear that the French concession is the only one near this rail line.
Although it was the smallest of the five foreign concessions, with an area only one third that of the Russian concession, the French concession, located in the middle of the other four concessions, comprised sophisticated buildings and boasted fashionable sites and entertainment areas.
Now abandoned, waiting for repairs.
