This is one of the few dated buildings in central Hanoi. After having wandered through all of the former French territory, it seems the French did not go in for dating buildings in a big way. This building has the distinctive style, and colour (yellow) of the French period. It is located near the Hanoi train station. There is no indication of its original function, and most likely since those days its purpose has changed many times. Currently, it is a small, discount clothing store.
Year of construction: 1926
