EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Rowe and Cos Premises in Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma), dating back to the 1910s. Located at the corner of Strand Road and Bo Aung Kyaw Street, the building stands as a testament to the rich colonial history of this vibrant city. The Rowe and Cos Premises, later to become the Immigration Office, is a stunning example of early 20th century architectural design. The building's corner location allows for a clear view of its impressive facade, adorned with intricate architectural details. The use of large, arched windows and red-tiled roofs are characteristic of the colonial architectural style prevalent during this period. The building's exterior is a harmonious blend of brick and stucco, with ornate columns and decorative motifs adding to its visual appeal. The lush greenery surrounding the premises adds a sense of tranquility and contrasts beautifully with the solid structure of the building. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Yangon was a bustling hub of colonial activity. The Rowe and Cos Premises, with its grandeur and elegance, would have been a prominent feature of the city's skyline, attracting the attention of both locals and foreigners alike. Today, the building stands as a reminder of Myanmar's rich history and cultural heritage. Its preservation is a testament to the importance of maintaining the past while embracing the present and looking towards the future.
