第一届西湖博览会工业馆旧址

第八批全国重点文物保护单位

第一届西湖博览会工业馆旧址位于浙江省杭州市西湖区西湖街道栖霞岭社区北山路41、42号,坐北朝南,建于民国十八年(1929),为第一届西湖博览会工业馆的主要馆址。建筑风格独特,整座房子的屋顶外形、内部结构都像一个巨大的“口”字,故又称口字厅。后一度成为民居,2003年经全面维修,成为西湖博览会博物馆。该建筑平面呈回字形,内部为木桁架体系,正立面模仿西方古典建筑,横向分五段,纵向分三段。门厅地面马赛克拼成的1929年西博会景观图,系当年原物。工业馆旧址是1929年为西湖博览会专门建造的一批展馆中唯一留存至今的建筑,是我省近代保留下来的极少数大跨度公共建筑,其结构体系在当时具有一定的先进性,是研究近代杭州经济、会展业发展、公共建筑变革的最佳实物案例。2019年被列入第八批全国重点文物保护单位。
