It was the first public space in the city during the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), offering various activities such as exhibitions, speeches, amusement facilities, and Western-style afternoon tea. In 1919, the land was divided into blocks, and different types of houses were built. The area still preserves some of the largest, most intact, and most diverse shikumen buildings from the 1920s, which are typical of Shanghai's architectural style. It is also the first urban renewal project in Shanghai that involves protective expropriation and transformation of historical buildings.
