ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY. - The building illustrated above is an excellent demonstration of how modern architecture can incorporate to advantage the traditional constructional features of a country. The building is that of the Palace of Chin Tsong at Rangoon, the capital of Burma, and Burma is the land of pagodas. The structure shows how the pagoda effect has been utilised to produce a building of beauty as well as utility. Leading to the Palace is a modern concrete bridge which also has been “easternised.”
