Stewardson & Spence

思九生洋行

British architects of the General Post Office Building on Suzhou Creek (1922-24); Chinese sources name 思九生 and 史滨生, and the firm 思九生洋行.

Stewardson & Spence, known in Chinese as 思九生洋行 (Sījiǔshēng Yángháng), was a British architecture firm in Shanghai. Chinese sources credit 思九生 and 史滨生 with the General Post Office, built 1922–24. The firm should not be assumed to be the same as Spence, Robinson & Partners (pe-009); confirm before merging.
