北海道 清華亭 Hokkaidou Seika-tei Seikatei
|
Seikatei is a historic building at North 7, West 7, in Kita-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido. Like the Hoheikan and Sapporo Clock Tower, this is one of the oldest western-style building in Hokkaido. This building was constructed in 1880 for receiving distinguished guests of the Hokkaido Development Commission in Kairakuen Park, which was Hokkaido’s first public park also created by the commission in 1871. Emperor Meiji took a rest here in 1881 when he visited Sapporo.
The building has a fine combination of the American architectural style and the traditional Japanese style. The building had been used in many ways such as a house for let or municipal lodging. However, in 1961, the city of Sapporo acknowledged its historic and architectural value and designated it as a municipal tangible cultural property. In 1978, the repair works were given to restore the building to its original forms.
