Tianjin has unveiled a new cultural landmark—a century-old Western-style mansion repurposed into an exhibition hall.Located in the city center, this brick-and-timber Neoclassical building was once the residence of Cao Kun, who served as President of the Republic of China. The structure embodies a solemn symmetry and substantial presence, featuring Roman-style arched entryways and Ionic columns reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture—elements that epitomized the fashionable design of a century ago.Inside, the traditional Chinese ceramic tile paintings capture the eye. Commonly found in homes during the Republican era, such artworks served as visual family mottos—a way to uphold traditional values during a time of intense cultural exchange and collision between East and West. Since opening to the public, these distinctive period features have drawn widespread attention from architectural admirers.As the first dedicated exhibition space in the area, the mansion currently displays calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, jade artifacts, and will soon include cultural and creative products unique to Tianjin, offering both international and local visitors a deeper appreciation of China’s rich traditional heritage.
