The Lalcaca Residence ("Eden Garden"), 254 Gordon Road (demolished in 2015)
Fascinating story about Dr. Lalcaca and this house. Another tragic loss of Shanghai history.

You can get even closer here: http://mapg.sig.huma-num.fr/Shanghai/ select the 1939 Foreign Settlements Commercial Guide on the left, uncheck the Buildings to remove the colored dots, and zoom in.
