Features: In 1879, the American Episcopal Church purchased 90 acres of land in West Shanghai's Fanwangdu and built a Chinese-style dormitory with two floors, as well as four residential buildings. This was the earliest St. John's College, which developed into the renowned St. John's University by 1906.
