這組內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是在航拍的過程中無意發(fā)現(xiàn)的，是它的西班牙風(fēng)格吸引了我,，而如果不是從高空俯視,，那就很難判定它的西班牙風(fēng)格。 
前些年無人機飛行的管控并不嚴(yán)格,，所以希望在《老壽帶儂兜馬路》這本書中盡量多用航拍的畫面來讓大家一睹深藏不露的老建筑,，于是在梧桐區(qū)多次飛行，其中有一張插圖就是拍攝衡山路高安路這個異形路口（書中第178頁）時,，在返航途中發(fā)現(xiàn)了這棟漂亮的西班牙風(fēng)格的建筑,。
一般來說返航時都會在電量匱乏的情況下，同時距離較遠(yuǎn)時也心神不定,，也不敢降低高度,，就拍了一張，回家后就發(fā)現(xiàn)在這片都是老洋房區(qū)域中要找出這樣一棟建筑還是有點難度,，于是只能從這天拍攝的其他畫面中來尋找答案,，還好它的特征還是比較明顯，同時對應(yīng)了老地圖就找到了它的出處,，安亭別墅,。安亭別墅前幾年進去拍攝過，由于從正常角度看過去沒有什么特別,，也就沒有在意,，為了和大家分享時講清楚它的具體位置，那就再次進去探訪,。
進大門后首先看到的是安亭別墅三號樓,，由于沒有相關(guān)的介紹，所以不清楚它是什么時候建造的,，顯然它的風(fēng)格與一號樓完全不同,。同時它也沒有作為歷史優(yōu)秀建筑釘上銘牌。
再往里走才是安亭別墅的一號樓,，它完全被綠色植被圍住,，航拍可以選擇的角度也很少，經(jīng)過反復(fù)的斟酌才完成了拍攝,。關(guān)于這棟樓的主人著重的是介紹蔣萬里曾經(jīng)居住于此,，其實從蔣萬里的經(jīng)歷來看,，恐怕居住的時間極為有限，那么他的家人是否長期居住于此,？后來又怎么會改變用途,？這都要權(quán)威部門的從戶籍檔案中解答了。
就目前來說它的詳細(xì)介紹還是看看方世忠 主編的《梧桐深處：建筑可閱讀》這本書里怎么介紹的：安亭別墅位于安亭路46號,，在院落1號樓曾經(jīng)住過的人物中,，近代著名軍事學(xué)家蔣百里最為著名。該別墅由著名的馥記營造廠建造,。1930年代,，上海西區(qū)高級住宅喜歡采用西班牙式風(fēng)格建造，蓋因活潑,、美觀,、舒適的緣故。安亭別墅是兩層半磚混結(jié)構(gòu),，占地不大,，僅250平方米，但小巧精致,，拱窗,、券門都有螺旋紋柱裝飾，呈半圓形突出的內(nèi)陽臺讓整座小樓顯得更加生動,，加上淡黃色拉毛墻面,、絳紅色筒瓦屋頂，確實是一座具有海派風(fēng)格的歐洲地中海式陽光花園住宅,。按現(xiàn)有資料,，設(shè)計這座小樓的是著名華僑建筑師李錦沛。李錦沛,，廣東臺山人,，1900年生于紐約，曾參與紐約,、芝加哥建筑事務(wù)所的設(shè)計基督教青年會建筑,。1923年，李錦沛來到上海,，趕上市政發(fā)展高潮,，參與設(shè)計了外灘女青年會大樓、八仙橋青年會大樓,，還有幸受邀，擔(dān)任中山陵設(shè)計,、建造工程的負(fù)責(zé)人,。通常我們只知道李錦沛是青年會的專門設(shè)計師,、中式大屋頂建筑的開創(chuàng)者，卻不想他以完全不同的手法,，設(shè)計了這座純西班牙式住宅,，手法也相當(dāng)熟練。
蔣萬里
這座別墅建造后不久,，搬進來居住的是一位叱咤風(fēng)云的民國人物——蔣百里（1882-1938）,。按蔣英回憶的《我的父親蔣百里》一文，“蔣百里,，浙江海寧人,，自幼聰穎，思想激進,。赴日讀書,，入軍校，與蔡鍔同窗,。全優(yōu)畢業(yè),，天皇授劍?；貒髱捉?jīng)輾轉(zhuǎn),，赴任保定陸軍軍官學(xué)校校長，少將銜,，時僅30歲,。”梁啟超拉他入黨,，徐志摩要替他坐牢,，曾和蔣介石結(jié)怨，蔣緯國后來卻做了他的副官,，連做過德國總統(tǒng)的興登堡元帥也贊賞過他,，蔣百里是一位充滿傳奇色彩的“軍事理論家”。他的軍事學(xué)著作《國防論》,，摹劃了中國抗戰(zhàn)的理論框架,；他在保定軍校和陸軍大學(xué)教授的大批將官，在八年抗戰(zhàn)中都是中流砥柱,。不知什么原因,，這座原來記名為“劉公館”的別墅，移到了國民革命軍一級上將唐生智的名下,。他讓自己的老師,，剛回上海的蔣百里校長住了進來。蔣百里并未長住于此，1937年抗日戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)后,，他出任陸軍大學(xué)代理校長,，離開了上海。1938年11月,，他在陸軍大學(xué)校長任上,，因病于廣西宜山去世。蔣百里給上海還留下了另一段因緣佳話：他與日裔夫人蔣左梅所生的三女兒,，旅歐鋼琴家蔣英,，嫁給了后來的著名科學(xué)家錢學(xué)森。蔣英自幼在上海學(xué)習(xí)音樂,，錢學(xué)森則入讀交通大學(xué),。目前，還沒有找到錢學(xué)森,、蔣英與安亭別墅的相關(guān)記載,，但這里肯定是蔣、錢兩家頻密交往的見證,。
鋼琴家蔣英 至于文中所提的“劉公館”的原主人究竟是誰？就有待于高手進一步挖掘了,。
This
collection of images was serendipitously during my aerial filming, captivated
by the Spanish architectural style that drew my attention. It would have been
challenging to discern this style without the vantage point provided by the
sky.In
previous years, drone flight regulations were not as stringent, which allowed
me to incorporate numerous aerial shots in my book, *Old Shou Takes You on a
Stroll*, showcasing the hidden gems of historic architecture. I conducted
multiple flights in the Wutong District, and one particular illustration
features the unique intersection of Hengshan Road and Gao'an Road (page 178 of
the book). During my return flight, I stumbled upon this exquisite
Spanish-style building.Typically,
during the return journey, I find myself anxious due to low battery levels and
considerable distance, making me reluctant to lower the altitude. I managed to
capture just one photograph. Upon returning home, I realized that identifying
such a building amidst the area's collection of old villas posed a challenge.
Thankfully, its distinctive features were still evident, and by
cross-referencing with old maps, I was able to pinpoint its location: Anting
Villa.I
had previously visited Anting Villa for a shoot, but from a conventional
viewpoint, it appeared rather unremarkable, and thus I had overlooked it. To
provide clarity on its precise location when sharing with others, I decided to
revisit the site for a closer exploration.Upon
entering the gate, the first sight is Building Three of the Anting Villas.
However, due to the absence of pertinent information, its construction date
remains unclear, and its architectural style stands in stark contrast to that
of Building. Furthermore, it lacks a plaque signifying its status as an
historically significant structure.
Venturing
further in leads to Building One of Anting Villas, which is completely
enveloped by lush greenery, offering few angles for aerial photography. It was
only after careful consideration that a satisfactory shot was achieved.The
focus of the introduction to this building pertains to Jiang Wanli, who once
resided here. Nonetheless, given Jiang Wanli's experiences, it seems likely
that his time living in the villa was quite limited. One must ponder whether
his family lived here for an extended period, and what subsequently prompted a
change in its use. Clarification on these matters would require insights from
authoritative departments based on household registration archives.
At
present, a detailed account can be consulted in Fang Shizhong's edited work,
*In the Depths of the Phoenix Tree: Architecture to Read*: The
Anting Villas are situated at No. 46 Anting Road. Among the notable inhabitants
of Building One in the courtyard, the distinguished military scholar Jiang
Baili is the most renowned. This villa was constructed by the renowned Fuji
Construction Company. In the 1930s, it was fashionable for upscale residences
in Shanghai's western district to adopt a Spanish architectural style,
appreciated for its vibrancy, aesthetic appeal, and comfort. The Anting villa
is a two-and-a-half-story brick and concrete structure, modest in size at
merely 250 square meters, yet it exudes a delicate charm. Its arched windows
and vaulted doors are adorned with spiral column decorations, while the
semi-circular protruding inner balcony adds vivacity to the petite edifice.
Coupled with its light yellow textured walls and deep red barrel-tile roof, it
truly embodies the style of a Mediterranean sunlit garden residence,
characteristic of Shanghai's architectural elegance.According
to existing records, the design of this quaint villa was the work of the
eminent overseas Chinese architect Li Jinpei. Born in Taishan, Guangdong, in
1900, Li Jinpei was raised in New York and participated in the design of YMCA
buildings in both New York and Chicago. In 1923, he arrived in Shanghai,
coinciding with the city's rapid municipal development, and contributed to the
design of the Bund Young Women’s Association Building and the Bajiabao Youth Association
Building. He was also fortunate enough to be invited as the chief designer of
the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum project. Commonly recognized as a specialist in
designing YMCA structures and a pioneer of traditional Chinese roof
architecture, he surprisingly adopted a markedly different approach in crafting
this purely Spanish-style residence, showcasing a commendable level of skill.Shortly
its construction, the villa became the residence of a prominent figure from the
Republic of China—Jiang Baili (1882-1938). In her memoir, "My Father Jiang
Baili," Jiang Ying writes, “Jiang Baili,
originally from Haining, Zhejiang, was exceptionally bright and possessed
radical ideas from a young age. He traveled to Japan for his studies and
attended a military academy, where he was a classmate of Cai E. Graduating with
top honors, he was awarded a sword by the Emperor. After returning to China and
moving through various roles, he became the president of the Baoding Army
Officer School with the rank of major general, at merely 30 years of age.” Liang Qichao recruited him into the party, and Xu Zhimo offered to
take the blame for him; he also had a falling out with Chiang Kai-shek, though
Jiang Weiguo later served as his aide. Even Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg,
a former President of Germany, recognized his talents, making Jiang Baili a
legendary military theorist. His significant military work, *The Theory of
National Defense*, established the theoretical framework for China’s resistance during the war. Many of the high-ranking officers he
taught at the Baoding Military Academy and the Army University became key
figures during the eight-year war of resistance.
For
reasons unknown, this villa, originally known as the "Liu Mansion,"
was transferred to General Tang Shengzhi, a senior commander in the National
Revolutionary Army. He invited his former teacher, the recently returned Jiang
Baili, to reside there. However, Jiang Baili did not stay long as, following
the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, he assumed the role of
acting president of the Army University and departed from Shanghai. In November
1938, while still in this position, he passed away due to illness in Yishan,
Guangxi. Jiang Baili also left a lasting legacy in Shanghai: his daughter,
Jiang Ying, a pianist who studied in Europe, married the renowned scientist
Qian Xuesen. Jiang Ying began her musical education in Shanghai, while Qian Xuesen
attended Jiaotong University. Currently, no records exist linking Qian Xuesen
and Jiang Ying to the Anting Villas, but this location undoubtedly stands as
testimony to the frequent interactions between the Jiang and Qian families.
The
villa now operates as the Anting Villa Garden Hotel.
As
for the true identity of the original owner of the “Liu Mansion” mentioned in the text, that remains a mystery for skilled
researchers to uncover.
