详细介绍

河滨大楼位于北苏州路340号，为商住两用大楼。

河滨大楼由新沙逊洋行投资建设，公和洋行设计，新申营造厂建造，1935年竣工。占地面积6872平方米，建筑面积5.4万平方米。钢筋混凝土结构八层（现11层），坐北朝南，现代派风格。依据不规则地形，平面作连续“∽”形布置，不仅与沙逊洋行的第一个英文字母相吻合，也解决了大楼地处一块东宽西窄的狭窄地带，设计中较难处理的通风采光问题。沿河立面通过内阳台与开小窗的墙面形成虚实对比。中间拐角处顶端建八角形塔楼。墙身采用大块防火海绵砖。地下室有长15.5米、宽9米、深2.1米的温水游泳池。楼前有约150平方米绿地。

河滨大楼建成后，租用者以英、美的商事机构和侨民为主。1937年“八·一三”淞沪战争爆发，虹口的公共租界部分实际上成为侵华日军管辖和控制的区域。河滨大楼原来的租用者纷纷离开，大楼成了一座“空城”。1938年，大量的欧洲犹太人难民进入上海，沙逊洋行在河滨大楼设立犹太难民接待站，把大楼以低价或无偿的方式提供犹太难民使用。1941年12月7日太平洋战争爆发后，河滨大楼作为英、美国家“敌产”被日本人接管。1945年抗日战争胜利，河滨大楼仍然由新沙逊洋行收回。许多西方国家的影片公司，如美国哥伦比亚影片公司、米高梅影片公司、美国电影协会、雷电华影片公司、联美影片公司等影业机构，均租用该大楼设立办事处。现今大楼底层门厅的地坪上尚有“E.D.”文字组成的图案，即新沙逊洋行创始人伊利亚斯·沙逊（Elias David Sassoon）英文名字的缩写。

1994年2月15日，河滨大楼被公布为上海市优秀历史建筑。

The Embankment Building is a building of mix use located at No.340, North Suzhou Road.

It was funded by the new David Sassoon & Co., designed by Palmer & Turner Group, built by Xin Shen Construction Firm and completed in 1935. It covers 6,872 m2 and boasts a floor area of 54,000 m2. It was a south-facing eight-storied (now eleven-storied) reinforced concrete building of modernist style. Based on the irregular topography of the location, it has a “∽”-shaped plane. In addition to coinciding with the first letter of Sassoon, it was also a solution to its narrow location wider in the east and narrower in the west and the ventilation and lighting issues in its design. With concave balconies and small windows, its riverside elevation features a visual contrast. At its central corner, there is an octagonal tower. Its walls are made of large fireproof sponge bricks. In its basement, there is a 15.5m long, 9m wide and 2.1m deep heated swimming pool. In front of the building, there is a lawn of around 150m2.

After it was built, most tenants were British and American businesses and foreign nationals. After the Battle of Shanghai broke out on August 13, 1937, the International Settlement in Hongkou virtually became an area under the jurisdiction and control of Japanese invaders. All the original tenants left and the Embankment Building became empty. In 1938, a flood of Jewish refugees fled from Europe to Shanghai. David Sassoon & Co. set up a reception center for them in the Embankment Building and offered it to them at a low rent or free of rent. After the Pacific War broke out on December 7, 1941, the Embankment Building was taken over by the Japanese as “enemy property” of the UK and the USA. After China won the War of Resistance in 1945, the Embankment Building was reclaimed by the new David Sassoon & Co. A host of Western film studios, including Columbia Pictures, MGM, Motion Picture Association of America, Radio-Keith-Orpheum Pictures and United Artists, rented offices in the building. Today, on the terrace of the entrance hall on the ground floor, there is a design comprised of two letters, “E.D.,” i.e., initials of Elias David Sassoon, founder of the new David Sassoon & Co.

On February 15, 1994, the Embankment Building was announced as one of the outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai.

一楼一故事

河滨大楼

1938年8月，上海港码头，伴着悠长的汽笛声，一艘庞大的海轮徐徐靠岸。水手利落地搭好了舷梯，率先从上面走下来的是个犹太人，手里紧紧攥着张纸，惊魂未定地上了车。 车子一路向北行进，驶过三摆渡桥，在桥堍下的一栋大楼前停住。 这幢“S”型构造的建筑，正是有“远东第一公寓”之称的河滨大楼。优越的地理位置和先进的设施装置，让它在建成不过短短三年的时间里，吸引了大批住户。尽管套房的租金不低，仍十分抢手。此刻，却显现出一种异样的空荡…… 廊道里“哒哒”的脚步声越来越密集，从车上下来的犹太人陆续走进了大楼。 原来，为了让他们有地方落脚，这里早已撤空，留出足够的套房。作为一名商人，这栋大楼的主人沙逊，为何愿意在不收取任何费用的情况下接待他们？事实上，沙逊家族，也是纯正的犹太血统，在得知欧洲大陆上由希特勒掀起的那场飓变后，当即决议，将河滨大楼拿出来，用于接待这些犹太难民。 刚才从码头上下来的那个犹太人，手里攥着的，是由何凤山发放的“生命签证”。当其他国家都向他们紧闭大门的时候，时任中国驻维也纳总领事的何凤山，毅然选择向他们伸出援手。对这些犹太难民而言，一张生命签证，一张上海船票，便是一份登上诺亚方舟的希望。 远渡重洋来到了上海，直到踏进大楼的那一刻，弥漫在他们头顶上的阴霾，才稍稍退去一些。“叮咚”声响，电梯门打开，复古英式风格的设计，楼层按钮从“0”开始，正如他们在上海的生活，才刚刚开始。未来的日子里，在上海这艘诺亚方舟上，也将有更多善良友好的中国人，出现在他们的生命中，驱散那场黑暗漫长的梦魇…… 一幢建筑，一座城市，它的伟大，在于骨子里的深度和力度。三十年代末的河滨大楼，为这些流离失所的犹太人提供了在上海的第一个避难所，和一段平静安稳的生活。时光流淌，楼里的人换了一批又一批，当年的犹太人，早已远去，但就像那保留完好的马赛克“E.B.”字样，将河滨大楼的英文名embankment building缩写在地，这幢大楼，也将属于这座城市的那段伟大记忆，融进了自己的砖瓦之中。
