Abstract
This paper discusses the rebuilding of Jardines' house in Yokohama foreign settlement. The main points are as follows;<br>• On October 1867, the rebuilding plan for the house on lot No.1 was, as old one was burnt down by great fire on November 1866, firstly drawn by a local architect office, Whitfield & Dawson, but it was cancelled owing to the financial reason.<br>• On February 1868, the new plan was prepared at Hong Kong and forwarded to Yokohama, but was yet so expensive that by the alternative plan made in Yokohama the erection work was started around June 1868.<br>• The ornaments, i.e. mantelpieces, iron parts, furniture, which was too expensive to get on the spot, were forwarded from England via Hong Kong by the hands of Jardines themselves.<br>• Whenever discussing the rebuilding, partner of Hong Kong and agent of Yokohama had probably two characters either as a merchant thinking only profit or loss, or as a manager wishing the new land-mark of their own firm.
