1933 (or "Old Millfun") is a complex of restaurants and shops in Hongkou District of Shanghai, China. The poured-concrete structures once housed the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai at the time.[1]
History
The five buildings were built in 1933 during the Republic of China period.[2] Property managers say that they comprise 32,500 square meters,[3] described by the Atlas Obscura travel guide as "an eerie Gotham-Deco achievement in concrete, glass, and steel, and the last remaining of its design in the world."[2] Curved staircases, bridged walkways, and thick walls give the complex a unique industrial aura, especially for an area aspiring to house cuisine and the arts.[4]
The buildings were under renovation in 1998 after years of abandonment. The building became old and decayed and occupied by squatters.[2]
