http://hahn.zenfolio.com/p12164846 Buildings, many of them under restoration, in the former Italian concession in Tianjin, China. They include <br/>- The rebuilt cultural palace (the grayish Mussolini/post Art-deco style structure in the first three images, originally dating from the 1930s)<br/>- Marco Polo Square, with the restored column<br/>- Various residential houses, almost ready for new tenants<br/>- Real estate advertisement, praising Italian style housing (意式风景区) <br/>- The First People's Hospital of Tianjin, now in disrepair<br/>- Tang Yulin's former residence<br/>- The former Italian Military Barracks (the last six pictures), well restored and used by a branch of the Red Army these days. A very impressive building, off-limits to civilians. <br/><br/>Most of the restored residential estates are (as of Nov. 2006) still empty. However, they are being prepared to be sold publicly on the national and international market, via high-profile real estate brokers connected to (or belonging to) the Tianjin municipal government, and at auction. This will probably become the most expensive neighborhood in the city. <br/><br/>Last visited August 2008. Photographs taken between 2004 (Hasselblad) and August 2008 (digital). <br/><br/>Last updated: September 23, 2008.<br/>Thomas H. Hahn en-us (C) Thomas H. Hahn Docu-Images th.hahn@gmail.com (Thomas H.
